Thanks. Even a 1/2 share is a fairly substantial sum, though.

"RP" has presented every other side of the coin as well but people see what they desire to see.

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.

THIS pretty much NAILS IT!

So La tech was begging to get in the SBC, and wasn’t let in, now they are trying their hand at PAC, and we have posters here saying “see, that’s what we should have been doing”

Man, who threw that L A Tech to the PAC hoop net out there?

No. Sam Houston has been FBS for 5 minutes and is already a better athletic program than tech.

Feels like two things are guaranteed here

1. Our admin sees Tech as a way to save on travel costs because we're a poverty school

2. Teams like Marshall, JMU, App, and Coastal are trying to figure out any way to get away from out stink of dysfunction
