Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5013038, member: 44"] Do you think all of these teams have invites in their pockets? Because if they don't, you're talking about giving up a guaranteed income stream of about $50 million a year (media money plus CFP distributions) for an uncertain situation. Why would you willingly incur the litigation costs and alienate your peer institutions? Wouldn't it make far more sense to let FSU and Clemson be your "stalking horses"? Keep in mind as well that a departure by FSU and Clemson minimally means an additional $260 million to the conference, and quite possibly that number could end up being close to $1 billion in combined exit fees in GOR buyout. That would position the income stream of the remaining teams well above the big 12. It makes far more sense to pull up a comfy chair and a tub of popcorn and wait to see the outcome of the lawsuits.
