It makes sense and checks off a lot of boxes:
- ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC are already committed to other power conferences. NBC also has Notre Dame while ABC has been ruled out as a result of ESPN not in active talks with the Pac-12.
- Turner (TNT, TBS, TruTV) is already involved with the NCAA via March Madness and has grown their sports package with the MLB, NBA, and now NHL. This also means they could show games on multiple channels while having contingencies for games running over.
- Turner/Warner Bros recently rebranded HBO Max to just Max as a way to advertise their additional content. A sports streaming package would be a perfect complement to the rest of the service, and HBO could do a weekly series surrounding the league like it has with the NHL’s Road to the Winter Classic.
Just a hunch.
