The government should intervene to force streaming services into a bundled sports package

If you wanna be a sports fan in America, you are paying a shit load of money... You have to get all these streaming packages. I think the government is gonna try to break 'em up... or force them to merge bundle into a bundle back to cable.

The US government and FTC have shown increased interest in antitrust actions against tech bundles (or lack thereof), but no such forced 'sports bundle' has been legislated yet.

The government will eventually force streaming services back into bundled packages for sports fans

I think the government is gonna try to break 'em up... or force them to merge bundle into a bundle back to cable... They're gonna bundle 'em. Hopefully that happens soon because it is fucking expensive.

While regulatory scrutiny has increased, a forced 'sports bundle' mandate has not happened yet.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
