SU athletics generally are a positive cash flow returning money to the university most years.

I never said SU should not look out for the university.  I believe the situation is not near as dire as the inter web talkers.  Most don’t look at the facts.

The ACC deal was good when it happened, it is meh today.  However, the ACC pays out more than the projections, has look-ins, and key schools are improving their sport.  Factor in the B1G shares gate revenue puffing up their payouts and that they will not start at $80million annually, the situation is not near as bad.  Throw in ESPN has invested heavily in the ACC (buying the broadcast rights), in the ACCN, has no incentive to destroying a cash cow nor has incentive to allow profitable partners to go make money for competitors, and you see the ACC has some leverage.

Does this equate to the same payout? No.  Though it does give one time.  The GOR is more costly to buyout now than it will be in 5 years or 10 years.  Maybe then the break even analysis is viable, especially with SU sports performance trending up.

The issue is that panicking over internet loud mouths who don’t use facts or at best cherry pick facts is not a sound financial plan.  Top investors don’t chase movers, they project the movers over long terms and buy them when the time is right.  Look at the top people in any field, they usually don’t follow the crowd.
