Right. So if I understand the current situation correctly, a Husker fan that is a member of either InsideNebraska or HuskerOnline will be able to access and read content from both sites. But that site is only getting revenue from members of their particular website (not counting ad views). So...
HuskerOnline is Dean's site, which is part of the On3 network. He makes money from HOL.
He would not make money from someone subscribing to InsideNebraska, even though it is now also in the On3 network.
So I assume when they say a "$5.1 million deal" they mean revenue sharing.
