Pernetti: "If the Sports Broadcasting Act can be amended to provide college football the antitrust protection that the pro leagues have to be able to unify their media rights... that gives the industry an option." Levine: "We have ESPN and Fox here. They're probably the biggest payers in this entire thing." The chaos in college sports threatens the inventory of broadcasters (Fox and Disney/ESPN). However, the proposed solution—an antitrust exemption allowing "unified media rights"—is the Holy Grail for broadcasters. It would effectively turn College Football into a "Mini NFL" (as Ted Cruz called it), creating a single, high-value media package rather than the current fragmented conference deals. This stabilizes the product and increases its monetization efficiency for the rights holders. Long the broadcasters who will own the rights to a stabilized, professionalized "College Super League." Legislation fails; the "product" continues to dilute due to transfers/opt-outs before a fix is implemented.
