The Yankees network isn't worth anything if they don't play anyone right? If I'm a team in a small market I wouldn't even waste time making the trip to New York if they're not going to cut me 50% of the money they're making from playing my team. A team like the Yanks could share 50% of their TV revenue with the rest of the league and still have twice the revenue of any other team.
