Let's do a little math.

Annual commission from Aramark to Nebraska is $5.8m. They've got 7 home games next year. Payout of about $820k per game and about 80k attendees per game. About $10 per fan, per game.

There'll be about 220 Ohio fans there. Should we send them an invoice for our $2200?

What if there’s no team for them to play? Also, we don’t play them next year, Genius. You are probably one of the 220 Bedouin fans showing up in Lincoln, when we don’t even play there. SMH.

We don't play them next year? And they managed to fill out a full schedule? I guess they found out about one of the other 200 teams that would take their money? Weird.

Or, maybe they were too busy working with their lawyers to play the SEC out of conference -- which you are very, very sure they don't want to do -- to give us a call for next year? I'm sure if it had crossed their mind they'd have definitely paid us 6x the going rate just in time to start sharing 20% of revenue with players.

Have you talked to your therapist about this idea that teams cant find teams to play and therefor need to fork over $8M per game in order to fill the schedule?

That won't be an issue. They could reach out to Houston Christian or Akron again - even though they play them this year. But on speed dial is Northern Ill who they played in 2022 and will play again in 2027. Georgia Southern (2022), La. Tech (2023), UTEP (2024 and 2028), Northern Iowa (2024), UTEP (2024 and 2028), Maybe they add to the contract with South Dakota St. now inked for 2028 and 2030. Of course they already also have (in addition to Ohio) in 2026 another game with North Dakota - they played them in 2022 as well.

Now of note is that none of these are being paid $8 million for a single game. And Nebraska is sacrificing some fans for these pay games. Last year the games with UTEP and Northern Iowa drew an average of 86,286 fans in attendance - well below the 87,194 they averaged for Big10 games or the 86,906 they got for the game with Prime and his Buffalo. But 99% of the average still works for Nebraska. And as the saying goes, "whether they are fans of UTEP, Ohio, or Penn State they will still buy a ticket from us at full price and drink a Coca-Cola -- which by the way we are going to contract out."

Nope, I formed a scheduling consortium with the entire Group of 5. We've all agreed that all scheduling matters run through the consortium, and we believe the starting price is $8 Million for Tier A P4 Opponents, $5 Million for Tier B P4 Opponents, and $3 Million for Tier C P4 Opponents. NAIA and Division II schools have also joined the consortium.

Looks like Nebraska will have to forfeit a home game in 2027 when they are forced to go to Lubbock to play Texas Tech on the back half of a home and home. And....oops, they will probably lose that game, so their playoff hopes will be greatly reduced.

Next arugment...MORONS. I'm over here playing chess while you idiots are playing pocket pool.

This is you, 7 days ago, making the case that the SEC & Big 10 trying to schedule more non-conference games against each other to make more TV money is collusion.

Hmmmm…..


Here's a link: https://bobcatattack.com/messageboard/topic.asp?FromPage=...

Why is your "consortium" not collusion but the SEC - Big 10 challenge is?

Also, just to make sure, because I think it's entirely possible that you're in the midst of a schizophrenic delusion: you know you haven't actually formed a consortium right? Do we need to call your emergency contacts?

Just to reiterate, your entire point here is that the P4 schools are going to choose to make less money right when they have to give 20% of their revenue to players. And not only are they going to choose to make less money, they're also going to pay the G5 exponentially more in exchange for making less money.

I know you're a very smart business guy and I'm just some dude, but my rudimentary understanding of business is that more revenue is better than less revenue. Particularly when your costs just increased by 20% and are going to increase every year thereafter.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm pretty intrigued to hear more about your business strategy of earn less, spend more. Please feel free to share.

What you are missing is they still sold out regardless of who the opponent was.

You are not wrong in how to make that work. But it’s the same problem the trucking industry has. Too many folks worried about feeding themselves, too many step children in the mix to organize and get everyone on board. If you can tell me how you do that, I’m on board.

nope. I’m not a moron, i’m just a realist who knows the world you envision doesn’t exist now nor will it in the future. And no, you’re not playing chess you’re just playing with yourself in your wanna be world. it’s a wonderful fantasy that you have but it is just you and your keyboard typing away imaging a fictional universe where unicorns exist and all the G5s will group together and demand increased prices on the menu (remember if it is not all then it’s none). of course the real world P4 response would be to go to 16 team playoff, cut out G5 and only schedule within themselves and thus allow the power brands to be able to lose 3 games and still get selected for the playoff (which is all the broadcast money cares about). I get it. it sucks. ohio is on the outside looking in (as we quite honestly always were). but this isn’t an episide of the little rascals where spanky declares “we’ll put on a show in the barn and everybody will come.” not gonna happen. as i said in another post you’re trying to sell a horse for $8 million and the P4 are moving on to automobiles. but go ahead and keep on beating….that horse.

No i got it. not only do they sell out, but as i noted 99% of the seats are actually occupied. and will be for the much anticipated showdown with Houston Christian this fall. same at penn state for Villanova. the opponent doesn’t matter at the power brands. their fans will show up. So no need to pay anyone $8 million to come to town.

Let's put aside for a second that price fixing is blatantly illegal, and the problem you're describing about the trucking industry is the result of price fixing being illegal, and imagine this incredibly unlikely scenario in place.

All that does is explain how you get to a point where everybody is asking for the same amount from the P4. You're still missing a logical explanation as to why the P4 would pay that price.

Behind one door, you've got a suddenly very expensive exhibition game. Behind the other, you can expand your conference schedule and set up a non-conference scheduling agreement with another P4 conference and get more TV money for both.

Indiana is laying off athletic department employees. Why? Because their expenses just went up by 20% over night. I assure you that nobody's plan right now involves less revenue. They're gonna choose door number 2 every time.

Lastly, wouldn't the P4 love it if the G5, FCS, and whoever else created a "consortium" that defined themselves as distinct from the P4? Isn't that exactly the justification they want and need to leave the G5 out of revenue sharing altogether?

Again. Just bizarre stuff here.

I know none of us are as smart as you, so please - explain it like we're MORONS: how on flat earth you have come to these conclusions that this - in any way - makes any sense?

I mean, at the tip-top end teams are making $5M-$8M in revenue - not profit - per sold-out game. You're under the impression that a team like Nebraska should take a loss into the millions just for the luxury of playing... the Ohio Bobcats... which won't move the needle for them, and by your previous post would draw 200 OU fans, and those fans who attend are morons. (of course)

So again - we don't travel well, and you insult those who do... so what is exactly is Nebraska's incentive to take a $3M loss? Just to beat us for a win? There are 200 other teams in D1. Most operate at a net-loss. Your idea is to forgo $1.5M because they have more money at the end of the season, therefor you give us more money - not bc we deserve it, not because we draw a large crowd, not because we spent more - but because you have money, me want money. Your grand plan is to collude with every team in college football not to take the money that most athletic departments need? WVU operated the entire season at nearly a -$2M loss. Where are they coming up with $8M to pay for a non-con schedule? https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/blue_gold_news/wvu-a...

It doesn't take a degree in economics or an mba, I have both anyway, to see this makes absolutely zero sense even in its most infantile of understanding.

All that does is explain how you get to a point where everybody is asking for the same amount from the P4. You're still missing a logical explanation as to why the P4 would pay that price.

Behind one door, you've got a suddenly very expensive exhibition game. Behind the other, you can expand your conference schedule and set up a non-conference scheduling agreement with another P4 conference and get more TV money for both.

Indiana is laying off athletic department employees. Why? Because their expenses just went up by 20% over night. I assure you that nobody's plan right now involves less revenue. They're gonna choose door number 2 every time.

Lastly, wouldn't the P4 love it if the G5, FCS, and whoever else created a "consortium" that defined themselves as distinct from the P4? Isn't that exactly the justification they want and need to leave the G5 out of revenue sharing altogether?





It’s not illegal if the courts do not rule it illegal. In todays world the restraints of big business are being unleashed daily.

Please follow board policy and refrain from political comments. I've been seeing those slowly making a comeback lately.

The "big business" in this case is a consortium of 200 college football programs that all lose money? You think a pro-business court is going to favor them relative to the actual businesses -- the Big 10, SEC, and the like?

So, scoring at home, for this plan to work courts need to decide cost fixing of fine, the P4 has to accept that without the obvious retaliation of breaking away and stopping their revenue share, and they have to pay these very expensive games instead of making more money to play each other more.

This whole take is nonsense and everybody knows it.

They all lose money, but the courts don’t care in passing out extra years of eligibility because the flow of cash. I don’t think the courts actually care about Southern State U’s profit. Same with revenue sharing, no profit needed to share revenue, only thing needed is to make revenue. So funny, Athletes get to share in the revenue, but not in the operating losses.

Are there any industries that only share profit with workers? Labor is an operating cost, and you pay for those with revenue, not profit, right?

A company can't choose not to pay employees because it's taking a loss. I don't really see the case that a school shouldn't have to share revenue created unless they don't spend too much of it.

Honestly, the NCAA should count itself incredibly lucky, as should the member schools, that there's a settlement (albeit a tenuous one) that doesn't involve employment.
