Another reason to kill the NFL anti-trust exemption. The NFL Network is one step away from pay-per-view for the whole league (starting with the Superbowl).

I'm expecting that the NFL Network will move from 8 to 16 games as soon as they can work it into the contracts.

I think you are way off on that one.. The NFL makes BILLIONS off of advertising..They would never kill the golden goose

 

[Greg Bimson]

The NFL makes most of their money by having the broadcast networks pay the NFL and take a loss on the package. Pay-per-view will not be the be-all, end-all panacea.

That doesn't mean some games won't go to PPV. Definitely not the Super Bowl, though.
