Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 297410, member: 622"] Take a look at the facts, not the dreams posted via WVU fans. Travel will increase nearly $2.5MM alone, cost to buy into the Big 12 will be about 1 year's payout (spread out over three years) and the ACC buyout of $20-$25MM. FSU already has a 3T deal worth $6.5MM, not getting more there. To start off with they are nearly $50MM in the hole, over 10 years, nearly $75MM. Being VERY, VERY generous we will assume a $5MM increase, this would take 15 years to break even. Realistically, they will net $0 - $3MM due to expenses, lost revenue, etc. This does not factor in lost ticket sales (UT will pack the house, but they would replace Miami), OU probably is a winner as is WVU (close enough to bring fans), and this assumes that FSU gets in the same division as UT and OU. The remainder of the Big 12 is a loss, nobody cares about ISU, KSU, Kansas, TTech, Baylor, OSU, TCU. They weill not be bringing 5,000 fans, either. [/QUOTE]
