Realignment Question

[CajunNation]

The problem is we will not get an extra $5M in TV revenue because all of the most recent new members are not getting the same amount of Legacy members. It's less money than $7M. This is where Turbine and others are wrong.

The money would be better, but not that much. However, the current TV contracts are not, at all, why I think we should pursue this if there is an opening.

Go back and look at the 2 groups of schools I listed. That is all it's about for me. It's obvious as to where we belong for the long term health and growth of our ENTIRE university.

I'm not wrong about what the SBC is paying, and I didn't make a claim on what Louisiana would get, just what current members are getting.

But I can see how my statement implied that.

Please make it stop. We don’t need another fbs team in Louisiana. 5 is plenty, maybe too many.

McNeese would pair well with LaTech in Cusa…will be fun to watch those two.

Yes, and all those schools have student fees. Our fanbase isn't willing to pay more money into athletics, the message has been consistent on this site. Also, you even admitted that the difference between the two conferences media deals will be not much different in the near future. I agree with that, especially after the PAC 12 is officially a G5 conference. Unless the money changes for new members and the AAC actually reaches out to UL, there is no need to leave the SBC. Maggard is pretty much still talking with many of these programs about the next movement below the P5.

He asked you how much each ACC member gets $7M-$8M? You answered "$1.1 million per conference game." That implies each member is getting that per conference game. They are not, the most important number is the actual payout for each member.

Except for parents of current students, I think the fan base would more than support student fees for athletics.

Its currently prohibited in the State.

Hey thanks, I did it again.

I used 6 as my base, number of conference games.

Its 8 not 6.

It actually comes out to where the Sunbelt pays $312,500 to every school per number of conference games.

AAC members get just under a million.

$300,000 is what Bustle used to get for money games.

Student athletic fees are not prohibited. The fee must go before a vote by the students. If passed it can be implemented, but my assumption is if it were to pass the university would reduce its direct support by the same amount.

If a student fee has to be voted these days on its as good as prohibited.

Prohibitive would have been a better word.

Can you imagine if tuition was voted on by the paying party?

They need to find a way to double their athletic budget before dreaming of moving up to FBS.
