Sounds like SDSU is a perfect fit for the Pac whatever. Incompetence reigns.
The sports media landscape is going through a seriously disruptive evolution. All the media companies are moving to streaming as they see the cable subscription model dying, but there is far less money available from streaming than from the guaranteed cable fees model that once dominated.
I'm personally finding myself watching YouTube channels way more than TV these days. Have DTV still, but I mostly only watch sports and weather, sometimes PBS. I don't watch any "network" TV or any other cable channels. I'd pay up to $49/mo for a streaming sports channel that gives me all the games being played from all sports. I'd then drop DTV and wouldn't even replace with YouTube TV, just YouTube because frankly, TV sucks these days.
Would I pay for a Pac whatever streaming service? Maybe, but bundling all the sports together on one streaming service makes the most sense to me. Could do a lot of cool stuff in terms of customizing the content on screen. This model would do away with rights fees. Leagues would get paid based on subscriptions only, which is how it should be, IMO.
Thinking it through, I don't think big broadcast networks have much of a future.
