Whoever doesn't already have facilities would be foolish to build them. California and West Virginia are experiencing massive shortfalls because of all they've invested in buildouts recently. If schools don't heed their troubles, they are liable to make things extremely bad in a decade.
"Due on the vine." Some feel the same way about UConn basketball.
Stanford and Cal can ‘die on the vine,’ says ACC head coach
Conference realignment has slowed of late, following the recent exodus of teams from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten (Oregon and Washington) and Big 12 (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah), but there continues to be discourse surrounding the remaining four Pac-12 schools — Cal, Stanford, Oregon...sports.yahoo.com
“If you put those two schools in the ACC, it’s going to be so easy for them to recruit nationally. So it will just benefit them in my opinion, not us,” Dorrance said. “There’s no way I want to share the glory of our conference with two schools that could do a very good job recruiting against us.”
He continued: “So basically I want Cal and Stanford die on the vine."
What a dumb-@$$ statement- Can't believe his AD or President are happy about the optics of such a rash public comment- even if they feel the same way."Due on the vine." Some feel the same way about UConn basketball.

Sure they could, you're so unbelievably clueless.
Nothing to do with the demographic cliff. That’s a convenient excuse for massive mismanagement. Half a billion in new buildings and athletic facilities and no way to pay for it. It’s mismanagement. I always flat out reject this idea of a demographic cliff when you realize we had 9.5m students at 4 yr institutions in 1969 and now we have 10.5m. Back then total population was under 200m. This is all by design, it’s a choice.
My main point is that, if TV revenues are going to contract, you’re going to damage your university if you take on huge loans you can’t pay back
Billy, i don't know who needs to hear this, but no one here gives a flying chicken cluck what FSU accomplishments are. Nuff said.

Sounds like they are discussing what to do with the extra money. Unsaid is the fact that while the ACC agreed to uneven revenue sharing last spring, they never formalized the exact nature of it. I imagine both these conversations are now happening in tandem.
Probably the allocation of the Stanford in California half shares and the SMU full share. Do the four hold outs only get a pro rata share or do they get something more than that.
Perhaps we're not as valuable as we think we are? Either that or we're just blackballed and no amount of winning or streaming subscribers will overcome that.
More inclined that it is blackball. Brand, athletic program, academics, market and then success are too strong when compared to other teams that are getting called.
Uconn again is silent and not doing anything but just monitoring the situation. SMU about to get picked before Uconn . Yuckk. Whats the next school to pass Uconn? Devry university ? Lol
