I know, it sounds sacrilegious. This is an organization that has a market value of over $45 billion. Every decision the NFL makes — good and bad — comes down to the almighty dollar.
But are Roger Goodell and his minions leaving money on the table?
Since the NFL is predicated by television, that’s what it comes down to. Right now, NFL fans gobble up the Sunday Ticket. But what if the NFL used the same model that the NCAA uses for the men’s basketball tournament?
By that, I mean televising games incrementally on free TV — which would net even more money.
