$10MM doesn't cover private jets to that level of effort.Private jets of course. Why do you think FSU is buying a jet. That's why Oregon asked for the extra 10 mil.

its a big deal my friend...All of those schools you mentioned are near major airports with direct flights, except for Penn St. Eugene is like 110 miles from Portland so that's nothing.
Negotiated settlement is the way.So when is the big announcement coming of FSU and Miami to the Big Ten?
I'm anxiously awaiting how Tallahassee lawyers are getting out of an irrevocable assignment. Lol.
There will be many issues to deal with in this blind money grab. Most sports are not played just once a week like football. As big a win as this is for football and being able to afford nicer facilities, coaching staffs, etc., the vast majority of non-football student-athletes will have it more difficult, especially in the classroom. Yes, just a reminder these are "college" sports after all.What happens to those sports who play a significant number of season games?
Rutger-Maryland-Penn State-Wash-Oregon-UCLA-USC are going to make all these bi-coastal trips?
Especially no direct flights?

The landscape changed. Optimizing prime time viewing slots with marquee games that bring 4 million viewers per game and up the the TV math that dominates target conference makeup. The Bowl games will be "re-assigned" as the new conference and playoff architecture is laid out by the media partners, and signed off by the conferences, to get their money.There will be many issues to deal with in this blind money grab.

Not to mention the bowl tie-ins that need to be adjusted. My personal fave is the beloved Rose Bowl. The entire college football world had to bend backward to get the Big 10 and PAC 12 to keep the Rose Bowl as a Big 10 champ vs. PAC 12 champ game as often as possible for those conferences to join the BCS and then playoff. All the talk about the "Granddaddy of them all" and the tradition of the Big10/PAC 12 matchup for decades undone by its own members.
I know. I was half joking.$10MM doesn't cover private jets to that level of effort.

Little known fact. Was on Space Mountain when they had a problem and turned on the interior lights so you could see the construction. It is nothing more than a Wild Mouse with graphics and lights.Thanks for the fast pass. Space mountain was awesome

I have been a canes fan since 1991 when I moved to Miami. Suffered through so many bad years and my kids laugh my yearly optimism, the oldest born in 2004. (Moved to LA in 2006 so they are not really from Miami.
If the Canes don’t land in the Big or SEC I am done. It is over. No more hope in the string of bad coaches and lack of dedication. No more hope in Rad, Mario or Zo.
The Canes as an elite program would be finished. I would rather sign the 60 ranked class and finish 3-9 than get left out of the P2. Being in one of those 2 conferences is our only shot to get #6.
Of course the landscape changed - $$$. lolThe landscape changed.

Guardians is a MUCH better coasterLittle known fact. Was on Space Mountain when they had a problem and turned on the interior lights so you could see the construction. It is nothing more than a Wild Mouse with graphics and lights.
The Big 12 can go back to market when their deal expires in 2030 and potentially negotiate a better deal while ACC schools are locked in until 2036.
Big 12 pays less for now. Big 12 contract will also come up one or maybe even two more times before 2036 and could (not for sure will) move past any ACC escalators.

Is there a risk of breach of contract simply by announcing that??? Anyone???
Long distance travel will be an issue, but Eugene airport is big enough to handle charters from all the relevant schools.All of those schools you mentioned are near major airports with direct flights, except for Penn St. Eugene is like 110 miles from Portland so that's nothing.
I'm guessing that future conference revenue payouts will be more than enough to offset substantial travel costs.Long distance travel will be an issue, but Eugene airport is big enough to handle charters from all the relevant schools.
