FWIW, Found this on ESPNet - article about Butler's run in NCAA basketball tourney. "Unlike the major conferences, the Horizon League doesn't receive television rights fees and instead pays networks to show its games. The conference syndicates between 12 and 24 games a year at a cost of at least $20,000 per game, LeCrone said." I wonder how the costs might differ for MLS - outdoor setting versus indoors for hoops.
