How much debt is our athletic department carrying? I know we had a 20MM loan for the loss this last year, but what is our total indebtedness?
IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

Correct. Sometimes there are grants to a select group of universities that makes sense because they proposed such..... generally individual grants.
One reason for the conferences to expand would be more inventory of games to get played on television, so the conference would have an additional 2 football games per week to sell to whatever network/s. One would assume they would get equal money per team to what they previously got.
At least that's what I'm telling myself to not worry about the situation.

I'm coming around to thinking that every school in the Big 12 is going to get a landing spot in one of the other major conferences. There will be a significant buy-in for each school to the new respective conferences. However, this will be partially offset by the OK and TX payout (20-30M) to each school (maybe the SEC kicks in a little too so that this happens a bit
If this happens, it makes sense for ISU and KU to go to the BIG. OSU, KSU, and two of the Texas schools to go to the PAC. The other TX school would go to the ACC with WVU. I'm sure the PAC would prefer TCU and TT but the ACC may get first dibs if they can offer a better package.
In this scenario, ND remains independent (but affiliated with the ACC) and the AAC and MWC still get a theoretical chance to play for a title.
Playing it out this way, there is significant change but nobody is alienating a huge number of fans and college football as a whole remains popular.
Theoretically - however, with the Big 10 moving to having week zero games, and early games, I bet they'd try to start spreading the noncon games out. So I think they'll have more random games spread throughout the season.
If I'm being honest, if ISU and KU end up in the Big 10, WVU and a TX school end up in the ACC, and the PAC gets a few schools I think college football is actually in a better spot than it currently is. That's just me though.
yeah, I guess with Non cons, that would run it up to an average of 1.25 more games a week.
If ISU and KU go to the B1G, WVU goes to the ACC, KSU/OSU/Tech/TCU go to the Pac-16, and all three leagues play each other a lot with their 16 teams each (ND counting as half in the ACC) while the SEC kinda does its own thing, and then all four leagues are represented in the playoff along with at least one G5, then I totally agree.
Oh, and I almost forgot, Baylor ends up in the American. That also makes CFB better than it currently is.
For conference play right? Non con would be 2 games a week, right? So it wouldn't be much more but wouldn't add 15 games total?
Short term I think the Big 12 expands. UCF, Memphis, Cincy, BYU, Houston all appear to be in the mix. Get the payout for Texas and OK, buy a few years and then hopefully we land in the Big 10 by 2025.
Yes, but not in how it matters.
Adding schools does create incremental media revenue. But for Pac12 schools to add a school, the new school would need to add at least $32M (in 2019/20 dollars) of incremental TV $.
The $32M was each Pac12 school's share of overall Pac12 media rights monies.
Man, I didn't think there would be any math.
Each plays 9 conference games so 18 games, but in conference so you divide by 2. So at 9 games. That leaves us with 3 non cons and guessing they don't play anybody in conference for a non con, so that is 3*2 for 6. So yes, 15 games total. Now spread that out over 12 or 13 weeks will give you the amount of weekly increase.
Also, having the only college football stadium named after an African-American (and having that take place decades before anybody else) probably helps a little bit too. This combines both the cultural and athletic fit.
That is probably not realistic. No way the AAC schools leave a conference to get dumped in 3 years.
Any school coming to a New Big12 is going to want a GOR in place into the 2030's.
A BYU, Army, UConn might be interested in a scheduling alliance similar to what Big10, ACC & PAC12 just announced.
You are definitely right about the bolded but I just don't see a GOR extension happening if there is any chance left that the other power leagues would expand. All 8 schools would need to be totally convinced that there is no shot in order to extend the GOR. Otherwise, if Cincy and UCF say "No deal without a GOR," then we say fine and go invite Boise State instead, or Memphis, or someone else who really isn't that much different than them.
