Ok we are getting a little off track with scenario 3 here but I will address that at the end. My main point was that there is no difference between scenario 1 and 2. The PE playbook is to buy with a mixture of debt and equity, pay down as much debt as they can so that their equity grows (they...

Wow, someone is sensitive. I dont think you understand half of what you are saying. Golden Gate Capital bought the company ran it for 5 years and then sold it off which is exactly what you described in scenario 1 (they sold to another investor rather than an IPO). In addition. they juiced...

There is no real difference between the first 2 scenarios or even the third. In nearly 99% of situations a PE firm will load up any acquisition with an optimal amount of debt from an outside lender like JPM Chase (sweet spot between where the company still generates enough cash to fund growth...

Cuse? WV? Louisville? I dont care at all about playing these teams. Give me a Big Ten schedule with Ohio State, Nebraska etc. Teams that we have actually played for national championships... Those are way more compelling games than playing cuse on bally sports.

I think it's just straight dollars. No way they are paying any school $99 million.

I am staunchly against even thinking about going to the Big 12, at this point in time it is P2 or bust. Having said that if we dont make the cut this time around and the ACC tries to force us into an even more egregious agreement, then I think we turn to the Big 12 as a stopgap until we can...

Only way for them to make money is a resale of their stake down the road. Either sell it back to the University or another investor. Any merch etc would go to the university and not directly to the investors. I guesss they could also do a special dividend but most returns are simply from the...

The only reason we are in the top 10 is because Mario is a monster recruiter and has restored our name on the recruiting trail. Everyone loves to cite this survey, but I’m not sure it translates to the average viewer of CFB which is what really matters. Mario has to match his recruiting...

I think it is a lot easier to sell recruits on the fact that the U has been down for some time so we had to take less money to get into the P2 but once we are in all that matters is what happens on the field and you can be a part of getting us back to the glory days. That’s a lot better than...

We continue to divert hospital revenue to make up the shortfall until we get a a full share. We have a lot more revenue that we can play with than FSU.

100% we should do this. Don’t rush into a Big 12 marriage. Do something like the PAC 2 and bide your time until we actually can figure out a way into the P2. Maybe team up with UNC, NC State, GT or UVA or whoever are the top ACC schools left behind but still have some intrigue for the P2...

Even with a guaranteed playoff spot and even money, we still we be at a huge recruiting disadvantage and our best players will transfer to P2 every year. What is the point of dominating the group of schools just to be overmatched in the playoffs every year.

If the SEC and Big Ten take the top ACC schools, it will still make sense for the lower-tier ACC schools to dissolve the conference and try and make themselves a package deal for the Big 12 or Pac 12 (Whichever survives as a third lesser mega-conference). They will still come out ahead moving...
