This is off topic. Thought some might like to see and hear Martin discuss the new Flo Sports Big Ten deal. He mentions wrestling as his first example, of course. Really gets after ESPN.

1) Will willie remember us and our recruiting contract when he is BIG TIME?
2) Do they allow bud heavy in the penthouse suite?
3) Cord cutting is real. Seeing flo go from hand held cameras to maybe being a major sports content player down the road is interesting because I dont think they will ever forget rasslin.
4) fingers crossed that the stream works

With this new content, I hope Flo's fixed the issues with their streaming capability. After the PSU-OSU debacle and periodic issues I've experienced with their streaming since, I don't have great confidence everything will run smoothly.

Yeah - I’ve seen this play out during my various experiences with start ups. Fool the investors long enough to get a real pay out and then bail. It seems like the leadership is in it for more than the money, but I generally follow the old Russian adage - “Trust, but verify”
