Obviously we have 2 major issues which are connected in many ways but also separate...

1) Conference expansion

2) Media rights

I appreciated the reporter's question yesterday to the panel of Kliavkoff, Merton Hanks and Bernard Muir(Stanford AD) following Kliavkoff's opening statement, "If everyone is going one way why not go a different way?"

To which Kliavkoff replied and Wilner notes in his piece, it appears digital media and possibly a non-traditional channel like an Amazon or Apple could play a "significant" role in future media rights agreements.
