You aren’t too smart huh? Ever think that attendance is declining because more people rather stay at home and watch on their HD TVs than deal with the parking and $10 beers at the stadium?It won’t be long before that will change, when the networks or the schools or pros figure out how to charge per game. Home viewers will be paying more $$$ for the privilege.

They only need to look at Boxing to realize they should never do that. Overall viewership and money will decrease exponentially. There are too many casual eyeballs that will never pay per view.

Nope...they will encourage people to view from home and stick it to the advertisers. What you will see is a push by the networks to increase/extend tv timeouts to try to insert as many revenue generating ads as they can. Even with the NFL model of keeping game length relatively consistent, ads eat up a huge chunk of gametime.
