Yes, a higher bid means more income, but generating and maintaining interest in the game is vital too, and there's great momentum with the national team at the moment. This decision could affect that. Lots of people would say that English cricket shot itself in the foot by accepting Sky's money and taking cricket off free to air TV. Hope I'm wrong though.
I completely agree with everything you've said here and back that sentiment 100%.
