There is no way this is sustainable. They are relying way too much on collecting higher and higher rights fees from people not even watching the channels. One way or another a la carte tv viewing is going to come and deals like this are going to make it happen sooner than later. There are going to be a bunch of bankrupt sports teams when this bubble eventually bursts...
