   Baseball has 30 teams that play 162 games a year, as you need two teams for a   
   game, so 162 * 30 / 2 = 2430 games.  Hockey, 30 teams at 82 games = 1230.    
   Soccer, 22 teams at 34 games = 374.  Already above four thousand, without   
   including post-season play    
   as too complicated for me to figure, add colleges and tennis and 10,000 events   
   sounds achievable.  The question is: excusive?  MLB.tv already wants to sell   
   their streaming games.

   Disney has had experience with selling exclusive items to the consumers with   
   its Disney Stores.  Competing on content, but not on price.  Heck, they've had   
   experience with a business model that included exclusively NOT selling their   
   content, the Disney    
   Vault.  If anyone can squeeze the extra money out of this, they can.
