[QUOTE="Root4GT, post: 987828, member: 5618"] Some decent arguments and good information. Thanks. Why for the past 15+ years have GT fans complained that we don’t have the money to compete. We have a lot of debt and don’t generate a lot of revenue. B1G teams Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State would draw big crowds. Maybe 1 or 2 others. The other 13 B1G teams are about like our current ACC teams as far as drawing power. We didn’t join the B1G in the early 2010s and don’t have that assumed revenue. The B1G’s contract with Fox runs thru the 2029-30 season. Anyone coming in before then comes at a reduced rate. With current 18 teams in the B1G adding any team would need to bring enough value that the current 18 teams don’t see reduced revenue. If GT came in around our current TV value then we would need to generate an additional $18M for the B1G or the current teams would lose money. Not sure how that happens. Fox has zero reason to renegotiate a contract prior to the current contract expiring. How do you keep current teams from losing money when adding new teams under an existing TV contract. Similar to how SMU joined the ACC, sorry guys no money or as Cam/Stanford did, well we will give you chump change. Hard to say how this all plays out. Just thinking GT has a quick and easy path to the B1G seems overly optimistic to me. Maybe in 2030 but unless all Conferences explode prior to that I have serious doubts. [/QUOTE]
