One thing I found particularly interesting and had not considered...
Makes you wonder about the P5 thing. We've already started down the road of paying players. Imagine ESPN just creating a new "NCAA" for the P5. Contracts with schools (happens all the times with patents) establishing a business relationship.... I don't know; just something I haven't really thought about until now.A new league would likely be partly owned by one or more television networks or media content providers, especially if it were formed by a breakaway group of players or teams. It makes too much sense for all parties involved. Players would get the security of a steady deal, and the media entity would be able to build and develop a product without having to worry about being massively outbid for rights fees.
