In the future, what would the likelihood of success be for an NFL franchise to try to opt out of the revenue sharing model for tv revenue and instead creating their own network to broadcast their games? For example, Jerry Jones decides that he could make way more money creating The Cowboys Network, which would be the sole source for all Cowboys game. Jones already made local advertising deals with competitors to official NFL sponsors (soda, shoes, etc.) that did not go over with the rest of the league.
Baseball teams have their own cable networks (or are partnered with cable networks) to broadcast all or most of their games. In college, Notre Dame made their own deals with tv networks for years. Is it really that far fetched that a NFL team will step up and butt heads with the NFL in the future on something like this?
