Nice job on 5,000, Mut! Your content deserves the follow, especially since we don’t get much media criticism these days (and thanks for no Jordachick talk).

As for the NCAA expansion, this just tracks. NBA expanded to a pseudo-playoff play-in, NFL expanded, MLB expanded, NCAA football expanded. If they can suck any more money out of us they will, especially since TV revenue is shifting.

Just don’t you dare try to stream an in-market game. That’ll cost $100 more.

Ha, thanks for the note, Dan. I'm worried this little expansion will just lead to more...in the NIL era it does not make sense. I guess the NCAA hopes people will watch/bet on those First 8 games.

I think you’re right. Advertising dollars are there for TV of course, but DK or FanDuel will pay huge money to be the exclusive betting partner for the NCAA play-in tourney and would love to get their tendrils in on small schools to NIL the next Fred Vanvleet.
