A lot of what you wrote reiterated my points not disputed them.

Tulane has a better chance at making the playoffs than us. Full stop. Seton Hall the NCAAT. Full stop. Isn't that the purpose of playing sports?

[I]School/conference make up ie bball and academic schools vs football schools is now essentially meaningless[/I]

The point here is we can compete against ACC schools because of the above focus. That focus doesn't exist in the B12. Look at SMU they get not TV money and are do well because of the NIL money. That is what most of the B12 is. We aren't winning the B12.

Your issue is you think the B12 is high end. It is not and will be even less so after the dust settles.

We don't need the $20M in NIL if all of our conference mates aren't there either. It is a false premise completely. Why do we need $20M if our competition is at $10M? You only play teams on your schedule, not the SEC teams.

The B1G/SEC have added two at a time and not wanted to be conference killers. Plus the B12 added P12 teams. There is value there still.

How does the conference implode? Losing a few teams doesn't mean the ACC disbands. There is still a buyout. That is crazy talk.

SU can survive on $10M. Other schools are doing it currently. It is called MATH. There is no Big 3, only Big 2. The B12 is basically the 2013 AAC.

We CANNOT compete with B12 money with the B1G and SEC. But newsflash we aren't competing with those schools. So $50M and $10M is the same difference. You compete against your conference. You act like FBS is one league.

If the B1G and SEC close the G6 loophole won't they also for the B12? Stop kidding yourself.

You are insane if you think Stanford and Cal are joining the B12. It isn't all about the money. They are above that.
