The BE's best selling point (from the FB schools pov) is that we have nothing to lose

That's right, the FB schools basically have nothing to lose (BB schools too to a lesser degree). So get very creative. Get rid of the whole BE management and give Goldman Sachs, John Henry, or even Cuban a 10% cut to management the BE. Sure Universities could still veto new schools but I guarantee you if Goldman or Cuban are marketing the BE you can count on a great TV deal and prime time exposure.

Hell, the ACC gets a 1/13th share of TV revenues to cover expenses. Give corporate America, or some rich guy who loves BE college sports a 10% share and the reigns.

For all you purists, how's that philosophy been working for the BE? Mix it up. Could you imagine if a Steinbrenner type of family ran the BE. Penn State and Maryland would be begging to come in.

Yeah, John Henry and Turner Broadcasting can make it all work. Well played!

Yeah, cause Goldman Sachs did such a great job with Greece.
