Pinky assurances.
This is great news for regional travel, performance, and mostly economics. This is a very good decision that will create financial and performance stability for the league!
Yeah,FarmerBROWN doubled up the pinky promise with a cross yur heart and hope to die addendum, Troy, ULMOST seconded it.
I am reading as just the opposite. We can get rid of these two teams now and if someone does leave they would jump at the opportunity to come back to the S-BC. Also Karl could have convinced the other members that he can get McNeese and Sam Houston State to join the S-BC. #SuxBelt
I fully expect NMSU to go Indy. They are not a poor financial institution. They can coast for several years. So, they are reserve school #1.
Liberty could make the move financially immediately. They are reserve school #2.
To trigger the reserve options after 2017, the SBC would have to lose 3 or 4 schools after 2017.
Besides those 2, there are several FCS schools that could survive an FBS transition.
My point is, we don't need the buffer schools anymore. It's time to change the way we think of the SBC. It's a different era now. It's no longer the late 90's, when we were trolling for live bodies.
We can work with this.
With the dynamic changing so that 10 appears to be the optimal number for maximizing revenue I have to wonder if we ever see a G5 go above 12 again and if leagues won't opt to not replace members if they lose them. G5 conference membership is engaged in a net loss of two over the past few moves. UMass out of MAC, Coastal into Sun Belt, Idaho and NMSU out.
So for u guys that actually get cst this is huge. Tv coverage can resume?
