Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 5303993, member: 5058"] I think we are thinking too small. I can see PE, substantial PE acting like an LP and investing not in an AD, but in a conference. This is why the B1G and SEC are saying they don’t need it (and not the member schools). In this way, the challenges of state schools and private equity is reduced. Also, a lot of LP is actually public sector pension funds, so again, conference, and not school affiliations helps here. I am thinking like a world I know, real estate equity, where the conference is the GP (sweat equity) and the school ADs are like the properties themselves. There will be fund raises and partners seeking buy outs or recaps when they think league value is high. This could benefit an ACC as it has more money to put to payouts, but would also reinvigorate (negatively) conference realignment. [/QUOTE]
