This has always been the case, but it seems crazy to me. The major TV deal bidders can see how few people actually watch the games in these southern markets with large populations, can't they?
Like, you'd think an untapped large market like Houston would hold more value than Phoenix/Glendale as we know there's a pittance watching in Arizona.
