In the next 9 years, either cable companies will stop charging all their subscribers for specialty channels they don't want, or the subscribers will quit. Either way, the gravy train for sports rights will stop.
And I can pretty much guarantee you that no Canadian network will ever again overpay for rights the way Rogers did this time. They'll be teaching the RSN snafu as a case study in business schools for decades.
