Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4732445, member: 1609"] LOL We have typically haves done less with more. We spend at a P5 rate . But the taxpayers underwrite it not s media company . We had the biggest budget in the entire G5 . Do you you seriously think the $6,000,000 a year SMU gets from the AAC underwrites their Athletic Budget.? I would forgo any media money to join a P4 conference from a G5 Because you could possibly minimal replace the AAC money or even greatly exceed it. If you got a share of the ACC football playoff money which will be a pool of $125, 000,000 per P4 conference and have inclusion to their Bowl tie ins that.huge jump in potential income and can easily exceed xour current conference contribution. Even without those perks the better exposure , increased attendance and ticket prices alone could offset the media money loss . I do agree booster money should also increase . A conclusion that SMU isn’t really a big investment simple because worlds are that far apart ., They do have a small stadium for P conference 32,000 but a with a bigger attraction multiple larger sites in the Dallas area are available . UConn is a little different situation But I would have jumped at a a 0 media money for football guarantee of 3-4 BB men’s and. women’s games games annually . The ACC may not want us but if it even looked like the B12 was going to grab us they would have done it . Even the ACC isn’t that stupid . [/QUOTE]
