But every school that left is going to make more than that. Now the PAC4 who have minimal TV value, could’ve agreed to unequal distribution and that would’ve saved the PAC. But they said no and now OSU and WSU will be getting about 4 million in TV money.
Minnesota vs Iowa was 17F at kickoff last year, 1F with windchill. Things are different when everything is frozen.Quote:

covid put big holes in a bunch of budgets. If you are $20-30 million in the hole, $100million to play in the B1G is nice math for USC & UCLAQuote:

San Jose State hangs 21 on USC. How many points will Utah/Oregon/Washington/OSU put on the board against Lincoln Riley?

Take the total gate and divide by the number of schools there and estimate the travel costs of each program BEFORE they actually pay the staff.Quote:

Sports are less than 2% of Stanfords budget. Get a fucking grip dude, the money at stake is peanuts to universities, and in sone cases the funds for the team don’t even come from the general fund. Football and basketball are gonna go somewhere else, but the others will somewhat stay because they get asses paying tuition. Fuck this place has way too many dads trying to get their kids (girls) into schools who don’t get how the sports work
without shit filler sports on the B1G/SEC networks that yes, sone people actually watch, you are left with a PPV sports model that is substantially different
Only when LSU & Livvy Dunne are in town.Quote:

Georgia and Alabama are very different academic environments. Not the same tier. Georgia has had very competitive admissions since 1995. Georgia had no problem fulfilling full enrollment and turning thousands of applicants away when the football team was awful. So, yes, Georgia’s academics alone are plenty of a draw.Quote:

I think college football should have been a minor league professional sport for thirty or forty years, it’s finally happening organically with the portal and NIL money. Basketball is kinda moot with the 1 and done environment and G League. It will always be a little different because a 17 year old can feasibly compete in the NBA. Not so much in the NFL.
Ironically, the College Football playoffs probably sped up the transition. All of the inaccuracy in naming a National Champion probably increased interest.
There has been a significant uptick of kids from NY/NJ applying to SEC schools in the last decade or so. I don't know if football is the only reason (weather or the common app might be others) but I do think it's a factor. Walk onto an SEC campus and with the $$ football brings in (win or lose) you'll see beautiful new facilities and buildings that lesser sports schools can't compete with. This is attractive to kids.Quote:

It's more important to me that we have a clean program than it is to get a new Nattty shirt to wear to work mid January and rub it in to the other fans..Quote:

Tell them what? They both know their plans for expansion and skyrocketing enrollment began well before their football programs were winning championships again. However big the draw of those programs are for non participants are <10% of NCAA athletes play D1 football or basketball.Quote:
