[QUOTE="swampsting, post: 83193, member: 1062"] Yeah, Southern's biggest hurdle, even for the Sun Belt, isn't competition between the lines. It's money. Pure and simple. Now, to their administration's credit, they didn't go up on ticket prices this year. That, however, is going to change. And with an athletic department budget of $14-$16 million, and little prospects of that increasing significantly in the near future, they couldn't do it. Michigan's travel budget alone for its athletic department was $9 million last year. Southern may have to sell another game to a P5 team for the revenue, giving them just four home games in a year and no OOC games at home in the near future. It's a very small market with very limited corporate sponsorship opportunities. [/QUOTE]
