    I could see her getting the starwars blue fuzzy outline treatment with the same techniques used to make Julia Robert’s look like tinker bell in hook

    Totally agree but that’s a words of radiances problem for future seasons. You technically don’t need to show it in the first episode but you certainly could to rope people in. There is zero chance the show goes the distance. I doubt we even get to oathbringer

    The thing though is that you don’t need to show all of that when the story revolves around Kal which is how it’s most likely too for the first season

    Agree on the animated part, however for the first book you won’t need much CGI until the chasm fiends besides Syl. They could get creative with that one too but will be interesting to see how they handle the pacing and what they cut or bring forward from later books

    Yeah no I see where it says that Fox has the ownership through 2032, what I said and what I thought you said is that Fox maintains that control after 2032 which I don’t see anywhere in the article. By my understanding of what was posted after 2032 BTN (FOX) doesn't have those anymore

    Can you do me a favor and show where you saw that? I just saw the piece starting BTN loses control in 2032. Not saying you are wrong just looking for the part of that article as it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a date on that own way or another

    It’s not what the haves what which is why they haven’t pushed for that. The only people that have is members not in the P2. That’s kinda the whole point, it makes for a better conference. That’s why unequal rev isn’t happening. Appreciate you putting a timeline on it, even if that timeline is...

    Not really. The current environment is working quite well for Michigan. That’s why nothing is unlikely to change. There is no need to have a greater good. Ratings and interest is up, and really unless you mainline big12 sports news most people have no idea anything unusual is happening except...

    According to your own article above it says that BTN only controls the rights of the conference till 2032

    Sounds like NBC messed up not keeping a ratings juggernaut in the title game. Can’t fix stupid leadership. Also article is before Indianas ascendance as well as the fact that Fox loses that control in 2032. So things look a little different. We will know for sure next media deal time but I’d be...

    No one wants that as it’s truly the end of a lot of athletic programs if that happens

    I have an obvious bias towards Michigan but when exactly is this unequal media rev share happening? You just got done saying how it’s such a good idea and makes teams stronger so why wouldn’t it continue like it always has. Michigan won’t be pushing for it and neither will the vast majority of...

    yeah it’s not equal media payouts that make the NFL king, because a lot of the other major sports follow that pattern and aren’t close. I do agree equal review is very important though and that’s why the Big Ten won’t have unequal rev share from the media deal. Glad you agree it’s such a strength!

    For the millionth time and as many have pointed out the big ten media deal will most likely be doubling already in the next media deal. You don’t sign away anything extra to get what you already have coming. It’s ok that you disagree with everyone on this point, good news is that we get an...

    Yeah no one should shy away from the selfish or self serving labels but that’s also legit the job of the university president and AD to be concerned about what happens at their university
