Maybe, just maybe, they can deduct a million from that total and have monuments of Vince Dooley and Herschel Walker placed outside Sanford Stadium @ Dooley field! Just saying. Go Dawgs!
I’d be happy if ABC kept about $10000 of that and used it to upgrade their audio quality when covering the games 😂😂
espn deal worth 3 million?
@jamboogie...Correction: ESPN deal worth $300M
College football is being destroyed by the SEC and its member university leaders focused solely on money. Please save college football…. It may already be too late…
@Beachwagon…I disagree.
People complain about what has happened to college football - NIL/Collectives, transfer portal. But hey, money makes the world go 'round, and ultimately, college football is ENTERTAINMENT. And guess what? That entertainment product just got a whole lot better - more & better matchups, a bit more parity & competitiveness, and players are FINALLY getting a well-deserved piece of the pie.
There will probably never be another dynasty like Bama, because it is SO much harder to win back-to-back and stay on top now when the rosters are changing substantially every season. But it also gives teams like Ole Miss, Indiana, and even Vandy some much deserved attention, and it keeps the playoffs interesting.
You might say - But what about a player's education? C'mon, get real. That has never been at the forefront of college football and won't be now. Let's not sugarcoat it. Remember the Jan Kemp fiasco? If players want an education then they have an opportunity to get one. If they don't then so be it. Unless players start going from high school to the NFL then college football is going to be the only stepping stone to play on Sundays.
To some extent, money has been involved under the table in college sports for decades. Now it's just out in the open and there's simply more money to go around. The only issue I see is the fact that the NCAA does not seem to be able to put any guardrails (that can survive a court battle) on the players accountability to teams and their "contracts". This is making the coaches' job so much harder. I think something will eventually get worked out, but I don't know.
You would think that Cox could afford a proofreader for this site. It needs one, badly.
How does the BIG10 generate more of a payout to each team than the SEC?
