Really good point, Tom. The ongoing football/basketball tussle isn’t a zero-sum game as there are other — very lucrative — moving parts in the broadcasting equation.

Any expansion of the NCAA tournament (or a later start of the season) is forbidden because it would interfere with that crown jewel of CBS Sports, the Masters.

A later start for the NFL might force the NCAA to move the start for men’s basketball back a month more.
