Out performing expectations means little if you have no expectations.
His point was they have an equal vote as other teams in the league and at some point getting a few more million a year (when you are already swimming in money compared to others) might not be worth it to you for the extra travel you would need to do and the tougher schedule. It's the same reason the SEC didn't go to a 9 game conference schedule yet; the 'bottom' teams wanted to be able to keep a easier game on their schedule and those bottom teams each have the same voting power as the top teams.
Correct. 100% irrelevant for us, but when it comes to the legal side, he is one to listen to.
Makes me think of euro trip.
So you’re saying the guys here who report that ‘the board shows they puzzys’ shouldn’t be as trusted?
After 20 years of putting a meh product on the field I'm not so sure. A whole generation of college football TV viewers has grown up watching the Canes promise a return to glory, but never deliver.
The numbers don't lie though. We average about 3.8 million per game. Just under the 4.0 million target the BIG media partners desire. They know we are spending money and if we start winning we should get over that hurdle.
Doesn't matter what I believe. The B1G I'm sure - if we're lucky enough to have them come calling - can point to two consecutive decades of irrelevance when they negotiate. We have no one to blame for that but ourselves.
"If" is the key word.
True...if we don't we should shut it down.
I think it's more the B1G's policy, not based on an individual school. A "gotta pay your dues" type thing.
True the red hat really helped them lately. But I still don’t like their financials. They fudge their numbers.
Its a much better market and new state, that the BIG10 is not already in. If you're talking on field results, I don't disagree. Pitt would be like one of only 2 or 3 schools that aren't in the P2 that actually has won a Football National Championship. Colorado has too, and theres probably another... GTech has one too and more recent
Candidly, I was thinking more of Darren Heitner, but sure. Or maybe the poster that yells about anti-trust and stolen cars and then tells people who are attorneys to post their firm bios. But yours too.
USC and UCLA coming in full share I believe.
