Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2609668, member: 44"] So you cherry picked an arbitrary period that stops conveniently at a recent BBall natty but excludes the bulk of bowl games? :rolleyes: "Trying to schedule the likes of Alabama, OSU, Auburn, Clemson, etc?" Do you have any idea how impossible that would be? Hey I'm all in for independence as soon as you sign up these games. You talk about economics and then suggest the new Big East. The new Big East make only a few million more per school than the American does. A move there really doesn't help us much financially. A may not help at all after the American gets its new deal. The P5, other other hand, make $23M-$33M per school: [LIST=1] [*]SEC: $32.6 million [*]Big Ten: $32.4 million [*]ACC: $25.8 million [*]Pac-12: $25.1 million [*]Big 12: $23.4 million [/LIST] The schools of the G5 simply aren't going to be able to keep up with the spending of the P5. Keep in mind on the Big East TV deal, fox games have incredibly low ratings. That lack of exposure will be costly overtime. Also while there are some eastern schools Xavier, Butler, Creighton, Marquette and DePaul aren't exactly bus rides. The Big East isn't salvation; it's surrender. We may end up there but that is pretty close to worst case scenario for us. [/QUOTE]
