kreed5120 Posted July 4 Report Posted July 4 13 hours ago, GP1 said: It isn't supply and demand. It's a simple question. How much are P4 schools willing to pay for one tune up game a year that almost guarantees a win? $5 million is a lot to Akron, but considering TV money it's a drop in the bucket for P5 schools. I would bet schools like Alabama and OSU could get a sponsor to pay the $5 million. What they can afford is irrelevant to the conversation. Why pay Akron $5 million when they can just pay Youngstown State $500k? They can still get that $5 million sponsorship you speak of, but instead pocket the $4.5 million difference. Perhaps use it to sign a heisman contending QB. Quote

Perhaps use it to sign a heisman contending QB. If G5 schools started their own division, even OSU wouldn't be shameless enough to schedule a school two divisions below them. But then again, I did see the Surviving Ohio State documentary. There seems to be no limit to their shamelessness. Quote

GP1 Posted 3 hours ago Author Report Posted 3 hours ago OU's reasoning is sound. Weeknight games are killing the MAC. I hope the other schools reach out to see if there is room for the rest of the league. Maybe this is the start of a meaningful run towards sanity. 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago OU in the Sun Belt Conference sounds almost as bad as Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference! 1 Quote
