Tech to the Belt?

What they can't sale is the lack of revenue sources at UL. If the AAC has mandated a minimum of $10M of revenue for athletes begging in 2027 and programs like North Texas and FAU are at $1.9M and $2.4M, where are we going to get that kind of money? I get it we all want better than the SBC but take a look around what is going on in college athletics and what is happening.

I'm sorry, but there are a lot of marketing directors on this site that have no clue how to raise revenue outside of $2Natty Night and free parking. Sorry, but the fan experience may be a concern here, but everything cost money. People have a whole lot of ideas but very few live in reality.

My guess and it's nothing but a guess at this point is nothing happens until media contracts come up for renegotiation outside of a few reshufflings the deck in realignment. The bottom of the AAC in revenue will have to face reality that they cannot generate a minimum of $10M in revenue yearly to pay athletes and will have to step back.

As the Top of the P4 continues to move away from the NCAA others hanging on a string will have to realign as well. Does anyone believe Washington State and Oregon State will be the last former P5 members to get kicked to the curb?

We can make all the calls we want and try to build alliances, but where is the money? No one wants you if you sit at the bottom in revenue generated and resources. The game is pretty simple now; show you can generate money are they don't want you sucking on the tit of the conference media shares.

What was Texas State generating? They just moved to the Pac.

Sorry didn’t come off as sarcasm in the text.

That's how I roll. Sarcastic but meant to sound real.

What is Texas State going to earn until 2031? They will get 1/2 of an estimated valued media share of $3M to $4M. About the same amount they earned in the SBC with an additional cost of a $5M Exit Fee and additional travel cost. So, they are earning very little in regards of revenue with maybe increase in attendance.

LaTech is rumored to begin negotiating with the PAC

Very telling, because no one knows the true cost of west coast travel better than Tech.

Question; 25 years ago if some one told you we would rank in the top 25 of wins over the last 10 years would you have taken that? Or would you have said our athletic department is under achieving?

My question is slightly different... Will TxSt get a full share of Basketball NCAA Units? If so, that could be a significant amount of money. The PAC ain't the SBC.

You can reach out to the media that interviewed the Texas State AD. My understanding is no they do not.
