    It's not so simple.  Stanford has a lot of sports that generate Olympians that very few other colleges have, let alone P5... er P4 schools.

    Texas, for example, does not have men's volleyball or either men's or women's water polo. Not many schools have any of those, let alone all of them.

    Yup.

    Men's Volleyball - 25 Div 1 programs

    Men's Water Polo - 25 Div 1 programs

    Women's Water Polo - 34 Div 1 programs

    Each team having a different number of “protected” games sounds like a complete nightmare. And having some with zero regular games is odd. Conferences are gonna be a complete clusterfuck going forward. 

    B1G teams like to give all of their rivalries names and trophies but don't actually want to play the games.

    I don’t think current sec teams like them either. 

    I think throwing them in the east rather than realigning the divisions back in 2012 didn't do them any favors.

    Those of us who play them annually don't necessarily interact with their alumni.

    I don't know.  Giving up racists for kiddie fuckers.  Seems like a lose lose.  At least we'll be entertained and some serious cash, which won't help any of us, will be flowing...

    Unfortunately, there's plenty of both everywhere.

    Get your SEC stickers for your F150 yet?

    They're on back order!  The supply chain just can't absorb a shock like Aggy joining

     

    also Salt Life for Life bro!

    I couldn't wait and just printed my own.

    Also, got one of those knock off Swamp Life stickers at the Racetrac in the bathsalts section.

    I feel like Delany during his time at Ohio St. was the one really pushing this narrative as a salve to soothe their losses, which as a Florida fan was quite funny.

    Didn't Gee write a really sad letter to fans about how they were still the better school after Florida curb stomped Ohio State and even that was wrong?

    Peter Burns keeps using the same statistic The SEC has won 19 football and basketball championships since 2007. The Big Ten has won 1.

    Heck, let's add baseball:

    28-2

    Oh, might as well add women's hoops too.

    34-2

    Sorry, I guess I'm just bitter, because I wanted Texas in the PAC-12.  Football aside, I'd rather Texas be associated with schools, like Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA and even USC, as opposed to Alabama, Mississippi...and basically anyone that isn't Vanderbilt.

    Well, fuck you too then.

    One thought I have running in my mind I'd hoe do you seed a new conference if you want to ditch the dead weight.

    1. SEC as I understand has no exit fees. Is this confirmed ? 

    SEC does have exit fees now: $30-$45M. They were added after some additional disbursements related to COVID.

    The Big 10 ADs were furious when they found out Penn St. had been added.  They were not consulted.  "Do you know how hard it is to get to State College?"

    And that was 30+ years ago. How they haven't solved this problem is mind boggling.

    Nicole Auerbach pointed out that West Coast visitors to Penn State will have to take a smaller plane to land at State College. They’ll have to refuel somewhere in the Midwest. 

    While I have no problem with Big Ten expansion, I think they’ll run into a host of travel issues like the aforementioned short runways. 

    The whole issue seems easy to solve with the money the B1G is getting.

    At one point, I understand that the city of Jax paid to extend the runway in Athens as part of a contract extension for the cocktail party.

    Boy finally dries his eyes, and moves on, and eventually finds a girl who seems to like him.

    She treats him well. 

    He falls for her. 

    They get married. 

    The girl he thought he wanted, suddenly wants him.

    Ironic. 

    Except SEC and ACC made offers at the same time.

    I've heard no conference wants to go past 18 teams due to scheduling problems. Don't know how true it is.

    I've also heard that when a west coast team is scheduled to play Penn St, they'll have a 3 hour bus ride to/from Pittsburgh just to get to an airport that has a landing strip long enough to handle planes that can fly non-stop from/to the west coast and PA. University Park can only accommodate regional jets.

    Depends on if you want to play everyone in your conference frequently or not.

    My guess would be that they would change planes at some point into smaller jets for the last leg vs a long bus ride.

    its from Sportico's database

    Thanks. Looks like they don't have Florida's 2021-22 data yet so that's why they don't show up.

    Previous year, UF was #21 with $164M.

    Rutgers must be doing some funny math or some of their funding sources don't count (like borrowing from the B1G's future distributions?) because they are only showing $56M which isn't close to being right.

    So, Cal's athletic debt is well known.  But what about SDSU and ASU?

    Do you have a link for this? 

    1) Curious as to how Rutgers isn't on there as they've borrowed like $250M.

    2) Curious to where UF is on the list. We've just built a new baseball stadium and football facilities, so I assumed some of it went to debt and not all donations.

    Technically, the ACC owns the GoR agreement with the schools and ESPN pays the ACC for the right to broadcast their games.    If FSU moved to the SEC, ESPN can't air them, even though they hold a broadcast agreement with both, unless the ACC approves that use of their rights.

    Some negotiation or "make right" would need to occur, because the ACC will lose value with FSU gone, as will ESPN, since their contracts and the agreement to build the ACC network was with FSU involved.   

    If FSU left next year, they'd owe a buyout (which in the ACC is 3 years of revenue) then ESPN would trigger a composition clause, informing the ACC that their revenue will decrease by $X.   Then the ACC would look to FSU and say, "There's your number.   We'll hand you back your rights once we're all even"

    It took the B12 a year or so to figure out a solution and that was in the last year of the GoR, i still struggle to see how this will be an easy move for FSU.

    We were talking an instance where the ACC ceased to exist. That doesn't end the GoR.

    Wow. But who would they pay?   The new acc schools?  😂

    The GoR deal is with ESPN so nothing really changes. And there is no "buying out" like the conference exit fee. 

    Any money paid would be part of some sort of negotiation with the network to recover those rights.
