I'm not sure that geographically-determined alliances are less compelling for TV. Think about "up close and personal" at the Olympics (as incredibly annoying as those are to specific sport fans). TV LOVES storylines, particularly for sports/events that viewers are less familiar with. The Super Bowl doesn't need them, but the networks use it for badminton at the Olympics.
