[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 2800644, member: 28"] The bidding war will result in a lot of changes, probably all for the worse. None of the outfits bidding for broadcast rights are going to eat the inflated costs. Those get passed down to us consumers. The likely product will be far more commercial laden than now, and more often than not, a pay-per-view or pure subscription proposition. Probably with commercials. What is probably inevitable is more consolidation of the Big Programs to ensure ratings, and the likelihood of the broadcasters demanding rules changes. The desire to tinker with the game to "speed it up" or to increase scoring will debase the game. The broadcasters don't care about the integrity of the game, only the short-term numbers of ratings and revenue. Enjoy these next few years. The game is about to take a bullet to the head. The corpse may twitch for a while after it is dead, but it will be dead nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
