There has long been concern that some critical franchises will move exclusively to MPVDs. NFL football is probably at the top of the list, and there was a small uproar when MOnday Night Football moved to ESPN - but this was mitigated in part by the addition of Sunday Night Football at NBC.

I think we may soon see the politicians raise their hackles about the move of virtually all College Bowl games to ESPN...
