New York Times story re: “In India, American Investors Saw the NFL of 20 Years Ago”
Question 1 (250 words): Let’s start with some internet research: Who has rights to broadcast and stream Indian Premier League cricket matches and tournament? Hint: There is more than one rightsholder. Also, which rights sold for more money per match, and why do you think that is the case?
Question 2 (250 words): What changed about the Indian Premier League format of play to trigger such significant financial interest for broadcasters, streamers and potential owners alike? Why is the headline comparing the Indian Premier League to the NFL?
Question 3 (250-300 words): Where is cricket popular around the world? Explain why those countries enjoy the sport. Also what is it about India especiai4 that attracts broadcasters/streamers and advertisers (think about why I included advertisers in this question before you answer).
