Private Equity literally ruins everything it touches. I've experienced it 3 times. Just terrible. Now, that said ... playing devil's advocate... Wouldn't we rather be in the B12 and part of this than on the outside looking in? Would this be a better problem to have than what we are up against being outside of the P4? Yes, absolutely. Whatever the big 12 payout is (with potential for PE investment) > $5million from the MW. |

It was revealed that if we had joined the PAC,we would have been the red-headed step child. Wait, how would SDSU not be better off in the B12 ?!? |

No, State would bot be better off.

I have always wondered, what is the allure of trolling on another team's message board and trying to pass yourself as a one of the fans as you troll? I barely have the energy to read Aztec Posts on an Aztec message board. I guess to each their own.

There is no way for anyone on this board to determine if this is a good deal or not for the B12. It is obvious that they are a forward thinking conference and that they are looking at any and all options to stay competitive - something that many on this board have condemned the MWC for not doing. If they get $1b, and the conference takes 10% off the top, then each school will get around $75m. Is that enough to generate more than 20% more revenue? That’s something the B12 will have to decide, but it’s certainly not out of the question. The big 12 has 16 members. If the conference takes 10% off the top each school gets 56m or enough to pay players for 2 years. The Big 12 is screwed. They are at the big boy table, but without big boy money. The P2 make substantially more from media and get a much bigger percentage of the CFP payouts. They are desperately trying to come up with the 20-30m to pay players, but the p2 will always have substantially more money to pay players. Unless the school has tons of NIL cash (Ybu) you will never compete. This will be like old school mlb when the World Series was the NY teams ( Yankees, dodgers, giants). Or St. Louis It might be better to be in a position where you know you can’t win vs the position where Lucy will never let you kick the ball You are correct on the numbers - bad math/memory on my part. The money is fungible - it could go to any number of areas that could increase review. Is $1b enough for a 20% interest? I have no idea, and neither does anyone else on this board. The B12 has made some strong moves, so I have to believe that they will only go for an equity deal that makes sense for the conference. Regarding dollars, a number of B12 schools have joined the exclusive $2b+ endowment club. And though the endowment can’t be used to pay players, it is a good indication of a school’s alumni and their willingness to give back. If they need money to pay players, their alumni will poney up. |
