[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 817137, member: 2426"] Responding to a combination of this post and the one before it. 15 years is a very long time. We can make predictions and have conjecture about what will happen with the ACC and the SEC, but nobody actually knows. I seriously doubt that Clemson, Ohio State, and Alabama will be the top three football programs continuously for the next 15 years. (No predictions following, just possibilities) It is possible that in 15 years damning evidence about CTE will have been found and American football will not be an active sport any more. It is possible that the SEC gains enough power to completely control the NCAA. It is possible that the SEC decides to pull football out of the NCAA and runs football as a university "sponsored" sport with paid athletes who are not students. It is possible that the ACC/Big10/Pac12 alliance excludes the SEC from CFP, and the alliance makes more money than the SEC. My point is that predictions about what Clemson or FSU are going to want to do in 15 years are kind of mute at this point. It is like predicting right now what stocks you will want to invest in 15 years from now. With respect to the media money, for GT it doesn't really make a huge difference. Compare GT and the mutts. The mutts, at the moment, get about $15 million more in media money, but they generate about $90 million more in total revenue than GT. Add another $15 million to GT's athletic revenue and we are still $75 million behind the mutts. I am not saying that it makes no difference, nor that GT would be better off with an additional $15 million. I am saying that if GT wants to have that level of resources and wants to compete at that level, the work needed is an order of magnitude greater than just media money. [/QUOTE]
