The cause of the split within the Football League is complex. The issue was not just that the big teams objected to the sharing of broadcast revenue and cross-subsidization of other less financially prudent clubs; their objections were also over the manner in which the Football League as a body were dealing with the broadcast market. Prior to 1992, the volume of televised league football was limited (see Table 11.2 on page 145). The Football League was cautious of the potential negative impact televising league games would have on math day attendances. For this reason, only limited access had been provided to the broadcasters during the 1980s. The big five on the other hand felt that one Football League was overly cautious and that the overall impact of live broadcasting would be positive. The balance of power in this matter lay with the big five clubs rather than the league and the result, the breakaway, is what had been referred to as regulatory capture (Morrow 1999)
