Its possible that I was being a bit dry in my sarcasm there.

The Big East contract was actually was worth quite a bit to FS1, since they had a gap in their scheduling, and with MLB coming on board, they had more need for college BBall as filler than they needed college FB as filler. But that's a longer term valuation, not where they are right now. FS1 is overpaying on their short term valuation by more than any incremental benefit of adding SLU and Dayton, so the increment would be more like $00m than $100m.

So 80%+ of that crystal ball gazing followed as a direct or knock on consequence from what seems like fantasy sports economics.

Except Fox gave Big East a contract and said we will bump the value X dollars if you add two more teams because two more teams gives us more inventory in a spot we need.
