Athletic departments from Texas and Ohio State down to Louisiana-Monroe spend every dollar they generate. There is nothing left to pay off any potential investors unless there's a drastic change of spending habits.

Facilis Descensus Averno. nm - Missiurifarmboy - 8/4 14:54:33

Who's going to pay the ACC $120M exit fee? - TigerMook MU - 8/4 14:13:42

or break the grant-of-rights (nm) - zounami MU - 8/4 15:09:03

$70 Mil SEC vs $30 Mil ACC you pay a negotiated exit fee - FentonMizzou MU - 8/4 16:58:54

exit fee & grant of rights are separate (nm) - zounami MU - 8/4 22:49:43

The incredibly wealthy, exploitive, expensive universities - zoomer 99 - 8/4 14:49:31

that's just the exit fee... there's also a grant of rights (nm) - zounami MU - 8/4 15:16:27

no way a public university can justify that spend - TigerMook MU - 8/4 14:51:17

How much would the extra payout likely be if they switched - JeffB MU

public universities are pretty good at spending taxpayer $$$ - phrejd MU - 8/4 15:06:17

FSU is trying... (link) - withUmizzou MU - 8/4 14:36:49

Don't ask a logical question. That spoils the fun (nm) - hou4mu MU - 8/4 14:27:14

If most of the league walks, there's nobody to - alwaysright MU - 8/4 14:15:39

There's 14 teams. - TigerMook MU - 8/4 14:23:39

Some of you are still so hung up on the old - alwaysright MU - 8/4 14:28:06

You can't monopolize CFB w/o Bama, UGA, LSU, etc. - TigerMook MU - 8/4 14:40:39

The BIG & SEC can do it together. They can both go to - alwaysright MU - 8/4 14:58:21

if b1g keeps adding teams the only thing they'r monopolizing - phrejd MU - 8/4 14:38:51

In my opinion, that's the goal - Merlin KC - 8/4 17:41:39

I'd say after today, everyone else already is irrelevant - TigerMook MU - 8/4 14:41:27

there are still a handful worth picking up but not many (nm) - phrejd MU - 8/4 14:42:47

At 34 teams combined, they can’t yet - alwaysright MU - 8/4 15:03:46

40 is the number. this is the solution: - phrejd MU - 8/4 15:04:43

I think at 40, the door opens and at probably 48 - alwaysright MU - 8/4 15:07:21

disagree. the still have to manage conference schedules - phrejd MU - 8/4 15:10:59

the other thing is its hard to keep that - TigerMook MU - 8/4 15:35:27

They’ll figure that out. - alwaysright MU - 8/4 15:31:37

they've pretty much reached that goal already - phrejd MU - 8/4 17:07:47

Who's goal is 20 team conferences? Big Ten will want ND at - North co-co champs MU - 8/4 13:39:17

ND will not, and NO chance Duke & Kansas. For SEC either.nm - FentonMizzou MU - 8/4 13:54:31

BTW im sure Cal and Stanford will end up B10 eventually.nm - FentonMizzou MU - 8/4 13:56:36

ND will have to, if it becomes two conference giants that - North co-co champs MU - 8/4 14:14:10

RE: ND will have to, if it becomes two conference giants that - TigerMook MU - 8/4 14:25:24

PAC12 smugness is nothing compared to SEC (nm) - zoomer 99 - 8/4 13:18:25

But we Talk The Talk And Walk the Walk.nm - FentonMizzou MU - 8/4 14:02:38
