Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3060495, member: 44"] Mmm, there are a lot of numbers which are more meh. $8.5M firmly establishes us at the most valuable of the G5. Not where we want to be mind you but better that many predicted. We've had stormcrows on here for years explaining how the cable cutters had taken all the money of out of media deals and to expect no increase in revenue, and quite possible a decrease. They were wrong. We've had the business geniuses on here reminding us that without a bidder another bidder, there was no reason for ESPN to increase our deal. They were wrong. We've had the college sports geniuses telling us to shutter the football program and move to the Dig East because it made a nominal amount more than our old deal. They were wrong. What this deal does is validate that our current conference, while not where we want to be, is the best option open to us at this time. Most of us knew that. Now we all do. [/QUOTE]
