Carr agreed. “It’s more complex. It’s more costly. You effectively have to have a computer science degree to decipher this,” Carr said. On Feb. 25, the FCC released a public notice saying it was taking a close look at sports broadcasting practices and marketplace developments. The agency has so far received more than 8,000 comments. ** _(More after paywall)_**\n\nNFL Commissioner Roger Goodell\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
