I mean its an overwhelming chance that all those employees trying to shove it through have that Chad Swofford arrangement where they have a nice cushy job at the private business waiting for them after they ram through the objectively terrible deal for their current employer.

I say we hire him with the caveat that he ensures we get in the playoffs every year

What about jimmye laycock, you skipped him

Michigan might be saying no, but the document still gives them a larger share than the others.

PE is almost always a bad deal, but given the time scale involved, trying to push this kind of thing through should be viewed through the lens of malfeasance or gross incompetence. Anyone with any kind of power at a university who is trying to rush this through without review should be viewed as a bad actor.

Interesting enough Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State would get unequal larger distributions than the rest of the conference. No wonder they want to push forward.

While USC and Michigan have held out and now university board members are now pissed they haven't been able to read the deal I've been thinking about this more and it's truly insane.

This is 2 years of TV deals for 5% of the conference. A bank could probably get them a better deal if they need cash now. So there has to be more going on (read bribes) because it is being shoved through before schools can read the contract. Sounds like some one wants to screw up like the ACC and have contacts no one can review.

The bigger issue is that 2 years of money is nothing to these universities. Think about VT, Burgess hall is 90 years old, Davison is a bit older, this is one of the last places you can still plan long term. Michigan has buildings from the 1800s. These universities expect to be there in 100 years. The time value of money is insane to think about at universities. Selling 5% is worth way more than $2b for 20 years.

You can't eat fat free ice cream, with anything below 10% milk fat it isn't legally ice cream in the states, it's frozen dairy dessert.

Out of college coaching since 2012, couple years as a consultant with Kansas City Chiefs and then two years coaching in the Italian Football League where he won a championship as coach of the Rhinos Milanos. Out of coaching since 2017. He is now a member of the CFP Selection Committee.

This time of year is all about that Al Davis mantra: "Just win baby!"
