I think this outlook depends on the idea that everything is still trending towards the power conferences. I have read some interesting input about the big tech companies like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Google, etc to think those entities will be bidding on teams not conferences. In other words they will be bidding on OSU and Mich and not Rutgers or Northwestern. That could break up the power conference deals. Perhaps the conferences try to thwart big tech from doing this but I'm not sure Alabama or OSU are going to turn down the bigger payouts by going it alone. It's the Power conference bottom feeders that will want to hold it all together.
We have to be looking at both avenues because big tech will likely have more money to throw around. UC could end up with a decent single team package deal if big tech wins out over the Power conference deals. In either scenario UC has to be a money maker of course. If we can continue to keep pace in football and basketball we have a very good shot in either scenario but I think the single team deal might be our best option.
