^^^Yep. Every year I have to call Spectrum to see what kind of a renewal deal I can get on my internet. This year they actually increased my speed, sent me a new modem, and lowered the price by $10/month.

I have an unboxed Verizon router sitting next to my desk.  It's not nearly as powerful or effective as the one I bought myself, but they cut $10 a month off my bill for letting them send it to me!

^^^ Interesting. A year before the Spectrum deal I mentioned above, the deal I got was to get a Spectrum phone and mobile service for $5.55/month. That was the monthly cost of the phone (not the mobile service) for 3 yrs. I thought it was locked in that way. Turns out it wasn't. At the end of the year they started charging $40.00 for the mobile service. I don't recall that this was explained to me at the time, but whatever. So I canceled the mobile service and paid off the balance of the phone. Now I have a phone sitting in a box, just like you have a router in a box.

I thought this tidbit from the Report of the DIII Analysis Working Group's survey responses was interesting and relevant to this thread, even though it relates to conferences, and not schools individually.

Commissioners indicate that 43% of conferences have media/streaming deals, but only 27% report generating meaningful revenue.

What I found interesting is that 27% of all conferences report generating meaningful revenue.  That's larger than I would have expected.  This isn't limited to FloSports, but I'm assuming that the FloSports deals constitute a majority of the 43% figure for conferences with media/streaming deals.  It might be that FloSports are one of the only deals that generate meaningful revenue, with "meaningful" undefined.  Other deals (Hudl?  Conference self-produced?) may not produce any revenue at all other than through ad sales, if any.
