[QUOTE="Displaced_Vol, post: 5152963, member: 20484"] I did well to keep up with UT’s dumpster fire of a season last year, I am way out of the loop on who carried what games and how long they had deals to do it. It’s interesting and seems like it takes a fair bit of homework just to keep up with it all! Frankly the obnoxious presence of politics in all things sports really made me just tune out for most all of it but that’s neither here nor there. I remember you talking about Big10 research money in the past. what’s the source of the research money? Are they grants? Point being: are 10 million worth of research dollars “worth” less than 5 million of athletic revenue because the athletic revenue comes with fewer restrictions on how its spent? That’s not a jab at Big 10 it’s just not something I’ve ever given any thought. I get the feeling like the SEC and OU/Texas have decided to say to hell with all current media deals, we’re moving in this direction and this new conference will be so valuable everybody will get in line…are you saying ESPN is the one that put this train down the tracks? Maybe so I have no clue. I don’t know, but I don’t love it. You mentioned NIL and that’s part of my feelings on all this too..I’m just not wild about the direction of the sport. It is intriguing to see how it all will play out though no doubt. [/QUOTE]
