The ownership group behind On3 acquires Rivals and forges partnership with Yahoo Sports

Let’s end this once and for all and consolidate these sites into one giant shitty take

Really disappointed no where does it say also forges with Captain Crown. One day my dude, one day

LSU will get 5 out of 5

Well the technology changed a good bit with each new start

Shannon may have intentionally stalled the sites true growth to save it for his next venture

Well dang now who do I say is the more credible site. Would previously put my belief in the one that had LSU's class and recruits ranked higher. The other was shite of course this was all subject to change.

No one gives a frick about big national recruiting now that the portal exists and these guys won't be at the same school not even 15 months into their careers starting

What he said these guys like Speigs & Shay only make the call at the very last minute and still get burned by the $$$NIL bag. Why does yahoo keep buying these sites… they are losing money, just throwing it out the window as these sites don’t make any money when they are hawking $1 per prescription and ads that are local and not worth any real money. Bad business model but he finds a sucker every time.

Not public that I can find but according to what I can find, ON3 is around 25 mil a year in revenue. Rivals, from what I saw, 35 million in revenue. Somewhere between 50-60 combined. They aren't losing money.
From Terry's perspective, his team just builds and sells. Rinse, repeat. Quite impressive actually considering each new incarnation becomes the industry leader and poaches all the top "talent?" in the industry which generally includes the top earning team sites in the industry. Follow Bama Online. Where they go is where the money and influence is going.
That said, as profitable as it may be, this merge is not good for us the consumer, the real sucker's here. Sure on the surface the availability of info from both networks will appease, however, the quality of the opinions and evaluations will suffer. There will only be one voice. Don't like it, choose elsewhere. That's right, there isn't anywhere else. A monopoly is a monopoly even if it is just a trivial, fully opinionated industry based around rumors about teenagers. In any form of media, only one voice is not a good thing.
