[QUOTE="ugacdawg, post: 813029, member: 4724"] I think this is the big issue for AAC schools like Cincy and UCF that are trying to be the Power 6. They are trying to keep up with the autonomous five on things like stipends and facilities but they only get about $7 million a year in tv money. So places like UCF that has 66k students hits them up for fees. UF has real athletics boosters so they don’t do that. I don’t think LSU collected anything from students last year while Cincinnati has run an athletics deficit of $250 million in just the last 12 years. For many P5 schools, the endless cash from decades of ESPN raking cable fees from non-sports people is ending as millions cut the cord. Schools like the Irate 8 just don’t get [URL='https://theathletic.com/2731657/2021/07/27/mandel-big-12s-tv-numbers-explain-divide-between-texas-oklahoma-and-the-rest-and-why-remaining-8-should-worry/?source=user_shared_article']anywhere close to the eyeballs[/URL] of the two teams that carried them. ESPN isn’t going to be willing to pay their current fees. They could be looking at losing $15 million plus a year. These types of situations aren’t sustainable and there will probably be a lot more right-sizing coming for any schools that lose the ‘protection of their dominant conference brands and cannot stand on their own. I haven’t decided if this is ultimately good or bad for college football yet, but it feels inevitable. [/QUOTE]
