So are clubs still paying the same flat fee as before, because ok wow.
Yes they are - because NZF came back to SKY after running a tender process (SKY didn't bid) and not a single one of the other companies even came close to what SKY's cost was (SKY was significantly lower)
Yes it's not an apples vs apples comparison because the tender process was focusing on getting all games streamed - however NZF for whatever reason decided to come back to SKY.
If you think SKY is holding NZF ransom, then ok - but i think there is much more to it than that.
