[JamesTheJeweler]

$2 million is terrible money.

As an Independent, Louisiana can make double that in a single. road game.

Here we go........

You will never give up on this.

We (I) will never go for it.

An impasse.

If we invested adequate monies in our own streaming media production and created our own Bowl game or garnered our own Tie-in to a current Bowl, Independence would work very, very well for us.

There are 2 independent public schools in the country and they are literally the worst 2 FBS football teams in the country

Schools are already paying $3 million for guarantee games.

When Super Conference TV money rolls in $4 million appearance fees will be the norm for any school that plays a tough schedule.

Those 2 are run on a Dire Straights model, not an achievement model.

They are poorly located, have no recruiting base, and zero cross traffic.

Gill is set to announce the SBC deal with ESPN next week at media day. Most are projecting it to be above 2 mill per school

Keep this in mind when home attendance is not what we would like. The ESPN money more than makes up for attendance decline due to people being able to watch at home. Also, this is why we must play weeknight games. Also why ESPN price for consumers has almost doubled in past year

Not sure I agree with the math of that.

Let’s say we achieve max success and put 30K in the stadium every game. At an average price of…what?…$50/ticket?

30K people x $50/ticket x 6 games/year = $9 million

That’s ticket price only, not concessions. So the real number is more. But for the purposes of discussion, let’s use the $9 million. So if instead we average 15K, that revenue drops to $4.5 million.

$2 million from ESPN doesn’t make up for that. It helps, but it doesn’t cover it at all.
