That’s now how big biz works, friend.

People kiss and make up all the time if there’s $$$ to be made.

Adidas got us into serious trouble. Then apologized, paid restitution, and re-upped our apparel deal. See? Friends once more!

Expect Texas A&M, which is just killing it since they moved to the SEC. Crazy difference between their total revenues and their expenses. Most profitable program in college sports currently.

Over a course of one season at big schools like Texas and A&M I imagine some temporary expenses and AD infrastructure costs can add up, but over a rolling 5 or 10 year period it starts to even out and I would imagine those schools would be profitable as well.

If that were true, they wouldn’t have significantly increased the deal.

You'd think they'd have a significantly harder time getting other schools to work with them if it was known they pulled some bullshit like that.

g]

Forget FB. All of KU’s brand value is locked in their hoops program. That’s what other conf will grab us for - if they decide to.

The free market told us this. Kansas has the 4th highest apparel contract per Forbes:

1. UCLA
2. Louisville
3. Tejas
4. Rock Chalk
5. Michigan

ESPN is bi-winning.

They win with the TV contracts. They also win by driving up discussion with the whole "tampering" thing.

The more I think Texas and OU to the SEC is the first step. I think we're going to see alliances and a separation of the major conferences from everyone else. Was talking to a colleague tonight who has heard some similar things about the possibilities. Think about this:

Maybe you have the equivalent of two 32-team leagues. In each "league" you have two "divisions" (the SEC is one division, they join up with another league, say the ACC, that's the other division. Then you have the PAC12/Big 10 as the two divisions in the other league). In each division, you have four four team pods. You play the three teams in your pod, you play 4-5 games against other teams in your division (SEC games) then you play 3-4 against the other division.

Every game is a Power Five game. Ticket sales are through the roof because there are no games you don't care about. Think about this schedule:

Oklahoma (in your pod)
Arkansas (in your pod)
Texas (in your pod)
Ole Miss (conference game)
Florida (conference game)
Kentucky (conference game)
Auburn (conference game)
South Carolina (conference game)
Georgia Tech (crossover game)
Miami (crossover game)
Virginia (crossover game)
NC State (crossover game)

At the end of the 12-game season, each pod has a champion.

Pod 1 vs Pod 2
Pod 3 vs Pod 4

Winners play for the conference title. Winner of that game plays the winner of the other league. Totals 15 games. Then, just maybe, if you have the other 32 team league, the winner of this league plays the winner of that league in the college football championship game.

It adds exactly one game to the schedule for two teams. Nobody plays more than 16 (you could even go to an 11 game regular season if you want to). EVERY SINGLE GAME is must see. I mean, is there a single game on that schedule you wouldn't want to go to? You're only going to have 16 games every week (32 teams) so they're all televised somewhere.

Basically, it's a mini-NFL model. Some would hate it and say that's not college football. But the more I think about it, the more fun it sounds.

And, sure, this is all hypothetical. I don't know if any of this will happen. But I don't think Texas and OU joining the SEC is the end of this.

Not at all.

STFU - this is what guilty people say. The remaining B12 is going to own ESPN :evil:

Yup. Theyre a tough out.

Firing Mangino was the worse decision ku has ever made.
