What you said was moving it to a primary network which I took as a reason for better ratings. That's a no brainer. BUT it's a decision that Fox made and they are aparently glad they made that decision to broadcast the race on big FOX. Network happy = they pay for more.
What's selfish about not wanting to risk injury when you're not getting a bigger piece of the pie?
Yeah it’s totally chickening out when you have headcases like Antonio Brown every week making headlines because of his CTE.
lol. Why can’t you just answer your own question then.
why don't you and your compadre head over to the stick n ball thread?
Didn’t even start the discussion buddy
The worst part is it is likely beyond repair realistically unless the NCAA goes without football for a couple seasons to brainstorm how to fix this mess, and that won't happen due to the revenue the sport brings in to the universities (and NFL).
The times are just too off for me. IMO they need to stop doing Asian Winter Olympics, the majority of countries are in North America & Europe
I hate this argument because these same guys play in the Senior Bowl. I feel like a full contact game very close to the draft is much riskier than a damn bowl game. Especially for skill position guys who can just slide down or throw it away
Now all you have to do is stop those other bowl games (and their host cities and tourism boards) from sending invitations, and convince mediocre teams that spending money to attend podunk bowls isn't really a reward for the players.
"Trades" have occurred, in the sense that drivers have swapped rides at the end of their contracts.
But would it be allowed, for say, at Indy this year Hendrick to trade Larson for Kyle Busch and M&M's? Obviously sponsors and manufacturers would have to amend contracts, but would NASCAR allow it if everyone else approved it?
I can't see why not. Owners points are tied to the car number and driver points are tied to the driver. Drivers have run for the championship in the past racing for different owners during the year.
The only downside is over-the-air may be nonexistant in 5 years“How we look at the digital world versus over-the-air versus cable, and it really kind of look at it as… the partners that we have today, Fox and NBC look at that world very differently based on, Fox really having Tubi so it’s not really a real direct-to-consumer play as NBC has with Peacock,” Phelps said. “Our sport [it’s] very important to make sure that we have significant eyeballs. The team model is very dependent on sponsorship so we need to make sure that whatever partner that we would… stay with or move to… we need to make sure that over-the-air is an important part of what that will be.”
I remember hearing that in the '70s, when cable was going to kill over-the-air. OTA has one big competitive advantage - viewers never get a bill.
Like minded
. I was going to say to the tv "expert" that they were saying that five years ago along with the demise of Nascar.
There's more to the overall 'health' of a sport than just TV ratings. A number of sports have seen ratings rise and fall and are doing just fine. No, they may not be as profitable but that doesn't mean they're in trouble.
