[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 983013, member: 1555"] First, ESPN only cares about eyeballs and ad revenue. They would focus their energy and investment into promoting their compelling matchups, just like they do now for the SEC. They could still broadcast the games of the lower strata but at a lower payout. The analogy would be current G5 games or lower. Second, I’m not suggesting that media dollars would dry up, or that ticket sales would drop precipitously. I’m saying that our greater dependency on media $ relative to our peers would put us at a greater disadvantage should the media revenue drop significantly, as I expect it would. We would need to greatly increase donations to catch up, and I can’t see how that would be a likely outcome. The other option would be to cut salaries and staff more than our peers would. Neither is a desirable situation for GT. [/QUOTE]
