You need to be nice.I vote the Big 12 splits the $ for the remaining 8 schools. Texa$ and OU can go have sex with themselves.
Let's see, three more years of 44 mil payout + no further debt expenditures = no more debt.Here is ISU athletics financial info from the Knight Foundation website. Scroll down a bit for debt info.

I will be interesting how Iowa State approaches the bump in CFP money.Let's see, three more years of 44 mil payout + no further debt expenditures = no more debt.
Haha. I wish.
I could use a new car.I will be interesting how Iowa State approaches the bump in CFP money.
Currently each Big12 school gets about $8M annually and that will probably bump to $12-13M when we bump to 12 teams for 2024/2025 seasons. Then starting with 2026 season it could be $22M+. What does ISU do with the $14M increase? Pay down debt. Invest in facilities. Or spread over general operations (aka salaries, travel costs, etc.).
Or maybe schools feel athletes as employees is a foregone conclusion and the money will be needed to pay wages and other benefits.
Add in another $2 million when they start selling tall boys at football and basketball games.
i wonder where that is living nowMaybe bring this design to a fleet of beer carts.
******* take my money, Pollard!!

"Oklahoma and Texas have reached an agreement on a deal to exit the Big 12 one year early and join the SEC in 2024, the conference said Thursday.Exit fee is different than shares. OuT had to pay to leave, nothing to do with the TV revenue. They'll still get their share at distribution next year since they are part of the conference through FY 2024.
It needs to be recreated if it’s gonna to be with the great helmet car in the sky.i wonder where that is living now
The $22M projection is taking the 12 team playoff out to the open market. Media consultants project it could bring in $2B annually. If traditional payout rates continue P5 schools will split 80% & G5 20%.I could use a new car.
Seriously, that's pretty nice. Is that mostly due to TCU's run last year. And your $22M possible estimate for '26 depends on how many Big 12 teams (just one) getting into the CFP's, and how far do they need to go?
Good to know. I didn't know that. So the future CFP would split revenue evenly among all P5 schools (leaving G5 out for now, to help me understand), even if those P5 schools were not in the playoff?The $22M projection is taking the 12 team playoff out to the open market. Media consultants project it could bring in $2B annually. If traditional payout rates continue P5 schools will split 80% & G5 20%.
It wouldn't surprise me if P5 schools push to give G5 a lower payout rate. If it stays same G5 schools playoff share would go from $100M to $400M.
The P5 could make a play to keep a bigger share. I doubt they would cut them out entirely as long as there is a path for G5 schools to be part of 12 team playoff. But today the G5 schools get around 20% or $100M to split around 65 ways. How would P5 schools feel if 20% was $400M per year?Good to know. I didn't know that.

I would honestly drive that on the golf course if they would sell it to me.Maybe bring this design to a fleet of beer carts.

If we didn't expand, and I think it was close, would you rather be in the mountain west or aac? We stayed together and expanded, we're better for it. A stupid argument, and be more compassionate towards our new members! Without them we would be in the position of the PAC or worse right now.Uhm, yes we did. Would you rather be Cincinnati or Rice next year?
Expanding and sharing the exit fees are two different things. Both mutually benefited from it. The additions will annually make considerably more money. They were coming anyway for primarily this reason. There’s no reason to share the exit fee money from OUT with them and who cares about compassion or hurting their feelings. Not to say they don’t matter but feelings don’t matter one damn bit in any of this realignment stuff.If we didn't expand, and I think it was close, would you rather be in the mountain west or aac?

They are going to get over 4x what they were getting in the AAC. So starting them at 1/2 rate seems compassionate to me.Expanding and sharing the exit fees are two different things.

Sell cherry pies in the lots, Family and Consumer Dept. could print money!No reason why we can't have official ISU beer carts in the tailgate lots.
Go full golf course strategy and have pretty women selling "official" ISU beers. Start tapping into that CyTown coin now.
Maybe bring back the dude from 20 years ago who sold Cy windmills too
