Really? There’s a chance he’s suspended for a long time
I’d be pretty surprised if he plays the whole year - sbroads24
(shrug) it's kind of like Eichel. You get him knowing you may not have him right away. He is a top 5 qb in the league - the wait would be more than worth it.

Its nothing like Eichel at all.
Eichel has an injury.
Watson might be found guilty of crimes.
They are nothing alike, IMO. - ImThatGuy
Sure, I think Eichel is actually the bigger risk. I think if Watson was going to be prosecuted it would have happened by now. They'll suspend him for a few games and he will cut some big checks and that will be the end of it.

NBC wont air Notre Dame home opener on Live TV.
You have to pay for peacock to do it.
They are so bad. - ImThatGuy
This is an experiment for NBC Sports. Overall, that game won't be its biggest ratings draw as it's against a mid-major. They're not going to be ballsy enough to do that with an ACC or other big draw opponent, not yet anyway. They're testing the waters, trying to see how many people would fork up the cash to watch Notre Dame football on television.

They did this for the first USA basketball game, it was on aired live on CBC.
Granted that only helps people who can pick up that Canadian broadcast.
I for one, hope ratings tank.
They all but killed the premier league in the USA. They had huge ratings draws for that, they tried to charge for it with NBC gold or whatever the hell it was, people stopped watching.

The Olympics as a whole is having ratings issues, and there are a number of reasons why that range from economics, politics, and culture.
The problem with the Premier League is that its more like a popular TV show in the US than a sport. It's still relatively new to US viewers. It's not engrained into US culture like college football is, be it Notre Dame, the SEC, Big Ten, etc. depending on where in the US it is. It also hurts that it's always played "over there" with the exception of a few showcase games. College football has generations of fans. People and families have traditions centered around either going to games as far back as their great grandparents. The Premier League can't get to that point, at least not in our lifetimes. If you make it hard to watch, people will just find something else.

Also 99% of it not being live is probably an issue.
You already know who won prior to the event being aired.
