Show me where the $15mm was a firm number. All I saw were a handful of wild ass guesses on what we would receive.The number I saw talked about for the big 12 was 15 M for us. That's less than a half share. That would make an increase of 9 million a year, actually probably more, but that's a convenient number, so that our $15 million exit fee would've been been paid in two years.
Keep in mind that that doesn't take into account the potential receipt of college football playoff money, a full share of which would be worth $15 million on its own. Granted we certainly wouldn't be entitled to that prior to 2031, but we would be on a path to attain it.
The figure I used in my example was the figure from the post I quoted.
One significant reason that I am not currently on the ledge many from this site are currently occupying is that I did not view this round as make or break for our programs. If we improve football we will be fine. If we don't, we won't. Spending the next half dozen years under our current situation is not materially different than if we received the partial B-12 invitation.
