That is what I have been thinking for the last few months. And, it is more in my mind as Boise uses their leverage to get their OWN special deal. (of course, the Big East led the way with ... Miami(FL) having their OWN special deal; Notre Dame having their OWN special deal) Then you have BYU & Texas.
What are we doing paying $40m on B1G to a Northwestern; a $30+m to Mississippi State; a $17m+ to Wake Forest ... for Football.
Isn't this where you start to wonder about all this Cartel business building up? Individual programs that have some cache' can strike their own deal for Many Millions beyond what these "conference" contracts stipulate.
What does it say for UConn? I admit ... we are screwed. But, I still don't understand how the Mountain West is going to rise to something BETTER with that CBS contractual obligation.
