So an analysis of this new sports platform this morning had two key tidbits:
Without cbs and nbc…they don’t have a dominant position
They will have to charge a MINIMUM $45-$50 a month to start to break even
Uh oh…

That estimate is to cover costs…not bring in revenue
They’re counting on ads

CBS bought Big Ten rights after losing the SEC. They have the 3:30 window for Big Ten games through 2030 and NBC has the rights to a Big Ten night game every week also through 2030.
The three biggest Big Ten games each week will be split between FOX at noon, CBS at 3:30, and NBC in primetime, so this streaming alliance won't have at least two major Big Ten games each week.

I know that was a discussion last season…with my Big 11 roots…is how are they gonna divide the games up? The new teams will help…because they were gawd awful last year

I'm not sure how they decide which game goes to which network -- I'm sure there's some mechanism for it.
I bet a lot of the primetime games will be home games for the new west coast teams.

The sooner the better. As a Clemson grad it is painful to watch the ACC flail about and trip all over itself.

My earlier point stands, and is relevant to what Disney has thus far announced as it relates to their Parks and Experiences division:

I honestly think people may think Disney will want to sell ESPN, but with WB and Disney's relationship growing, I feel like WB will choose Disney over ViacomCBS as their buyer.
It's missing...
- Country Bear Musical Jamboree
- The Cake Bake Shop
- DL gets an updated and less flammable Fantasmic!
- Reopening of a refreshed Little Mermaid show
- Star Wars Outlaws
- Zootopia replacing Tough to be a Bug
- DINOSAUR revamping into Indiana Jones
- Test Track refresh
- Pirate's lounge
- Vague Blue Sky stuff.

That’s such a sad list imo. Nothing really being added, just trying to do things with existing attractions and buildings and promote as something new and exciting. I don’t think it’s going to bring additional guests in.
They HAVE TO expand, build new lands, increase capacity, but they continue to cut corners where they can while charging more and showing us random ideas and drawing for years, some of which doesn’t make a lot of thematic sense.

This hasn't actually been announced, right? I think it would technically still fall under vague blue sky stuff, especially with some insiders indicating that DAK was now on the back burner in favor of DHS and MK.
They will. They didn't have the cash on hand to do it now. That will change in October of this year now that Hulu is bought out and DTC will be profitable.
Four years ago, Iger said DTC will be top priority. We got what he promised.
But you've said repeatedly that Disney has plenty of cash on hand. Now they have to wait until October?
Cash on hand to buy out Hulu and to weather DTC's continuing investment.
When did I say they have the cash to make that $60B investment in parks now? I've repeatedly repeated what Disney has said: That that $60B will be in the back half of the upcoming decade.
