Fox, ABC refuses to broadcast the announcement accusing the power four commissioners of being greedy
Billionaire Texas Tech Booster CODY Campbell broadcast advertisements intended Save university sports! Some major networks refused to take your money in exchange for the dissemination of its last advertisement.
Via Amanda Christovich de Rontofficesports.com, Campbell says that Fox and ABC refused to televise A place that criticizes power four curators of greed.
Campbell wants to replace the NCAA with a new director organ. He also hopes that the Congress modifies the sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, giving university football the ability to sell television rights collectively, such as the NFL. He argues that the additional income from this approach could help finance female sports and Olympic sports.
“For conference commissioners, it’s all about money and control,” Campbell said in the new advertisement. “Their greeding is all schools bankrupt, except the largest – and female sports and Olympic programs share the price.”
It is a clear pivot of sound previous (and misleading) complaint that “universities bleed from red ink in their athletics budget”. This graph of original advertising cited a Forbes Article with a title indicating that “several universities of Big Ten are bleeding red ink in their athletics budgets”. The story itself has listed only four of the 18 Big Ten schools operating to a deficit.
The message therefore went from “Nobody makes money!” To “Those who earn money don’t want to do less!”
The problem with Campbell’s proposal is simple. A larger national pie would probably reduce the clear tranche that the main conferences are currently obtaining by making their own offers. At the NFL level, the most popular teams (such as cowboys) sacrifice the additional income they would earn by selling their own rights and also sharing with less desirable teams.
These are not the main conferences that try to get more. These are the main conferences that keep what they currently have.
Christovich reports that ESPN had asked Campbell a “more supporting documentation” concerning advertising and that it was not provided in a timely manner. Campbell claims that the “General Council [sic]”For a network, he said it was”commercial decision. “”
It was probably. Fox and ABC are currently doing many business with Power Four conferences. Fox and ABC certainly do not want to move to a system in which they pay even more for the games that generate the most general public and the games that do not.
The debate will continue when various universities will try to cancel the chaos that the years of operating players have created. And they will continue to try to sell Doom and Gloom scenarios in order to avoid the best result (a national union of university football players), even as television notes Continue to climb and go up.
