Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 5150614, member: 8240"] The whole thing looks to have been orchestrated by the B1G/SEC alliance and perhaps unwittingly facilitated by the gross incompetence and lack of leadership of Mark Emmert. First the "full cost of attendance", followed by NIL and now the "20% revenue sharing". How many schools have that level of free cash to share when they're building and modernizing facilities to stay relevant in the arms race, adding to staffs to keep up with the scouting and evaluating of opponents for games and which players to hire, and now having to fund massive increases in travel costs owing to the geography of the newly expanded leagues? Finally, how will some of the schools, even in the B1G and SEC, be able to keep up with the really big money schools who not only have huge media rights deals but also have major corporate sponsors and wealthy alumni willing to fork over major annual donations in order to buy bragging rights?
