If it were that strong a business opportunity I think the NFL would have done it by now. One big flaw I see in that model is that some games will generate hardly any revenue at all. Who — including die-hard fans of the teams themselves — would pay $25 to see a game between the Cleveland Browns and the Carolina Panthers?

Unless I am mistaken, I believe that the network revenue is pooled equally between the 32 NFL teams. Well they could do the same with the pay-per-view money. So even if most fans of the Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers choose to watch a Patriots-Jets game instead, it should not affect the revenues of their home teams.

So long as they choose to watch a game, the dollars will roll in!
