OSU could get that money in a super league, probably even more. The fact they are willing to give up 10 more years on GoR should show you they don't want anything to do with a super league. Right now, the only school with the power and influence they enjoy in their conference is Michigan. A super league would erode their power base by quite a large margin.

Irrelevant when they spend it. And I want them spending it on better players and coaches. There isn't a faster way to increase revenue for a CFB program than investing in better talent. Better talent usually creates a better product (Not always) and a better product creates demand, and demand is king. Demand lets me charge $20 more a ticket, $10 more for parking, $2 more per beer, $1 more per hot-dog, etc. Now your stadium is at capacity, maybe we need another 10,000 seats added on in the south end zone. So on and so on. I realize it's easy to say, just spend more on players/coaches and then start backing up revenue dump trucks. I understand it will still take a lot of smart people to come up with and execute a plan to make that money work. I also understand not all 18 schools will be able to do it. I don't care. If we wait around for a plan that all 18 schools can implement successfully, we will never have a plan. No, these are not payday loans. A payday loan starts the same as any loan. They give you money today, and you give them some of your future revenue. What makes a payday loan bad is the 300%, 400%, 500% interest they are going to charge you. At a 3.5% interest rate, these are the furthest thing from payday loans. I doubt the Big Ten could approach a commercial bank and get a 3.5% loan. Having said that, I still wouldn't make the deal. But the money side of things isn't nearly as bad as people want to make it out to be.

$350m repaid on $190m borrowed over 20 years is about a 3.5% loan. How bad/good the deal is depends on what type of ROI you think you can get on the $190m infusion. If you think you can earn >=6% welllllll

Another blah game from Holland. Cade with a couple of key hoops down the stretch to ice it. Thompson was big on defense at the end
-
Thompson with two steals and a block the last two minutes

Here is how I would judge the deal. You receive $190 million and if revenue grows at 2% a year for the next 20 years, you give up over $350,000,000 in future revenue. At 4% growth, it's $439 million. 6% growth, it's just over $550 million. No thanks.

Hawks are in a similar situation as the Pistons. They have three starters out .
-
The Hawks not having red in their uniform is just wrong.

Castle out for two weeks. San Antonio now missing Victor, Harper, and Castle.
-
Now Gianni's is out and will be evaluated in two weeks.

And now we know why USC was not on board. https://x.com/tonypaul1984/status/1990516355913937366

Cade, Tobias, and Ausar all listed as questionable. LeVert out. Risacher, KP, and Okongwu listed as questionable for Atlanta.

Crazy to think about how little Ivey and Cade have played together in a little over 2 seasons. Ivey's rookie year Cade played 12 games and had season ending surgery. Last year Ivey played 30 games and had a season ending injury. So 42 total games, assuming each one played in those 42. Not going to go back and count that. But basically half a season.

But wait. PBev's lawyer said he was just protecting his sister from a predatory 18 year old? Jesus christ. This is so brutal you almost hope she is a liar. Patrick Beverley Accused of Choking, Punching Sister In Eye ... Before Assault Arrest

Home court doesn't mean much. I just looked back at the last 3 finals. A 4th, 5th, and 7th seed made it to the finals. Those 3 teams had 12 series and only one was a home series. The home team did win each Finals though.

It wasn't total loss, it was a line item. Looks like I also had the number a bit off. https://mgoblue.com/news/2025/6/12/general-michigan-athletics-projects-balanced-budget-for-fiscal-year-2026

I found an article that says the conference shares 35% of the gate for conference games. But it has a cap of $1 million and a floor of $300,000. It's from 2013 so who knows if that is still true or not. Michigan is projected to lose $19.7 million this year due to having two less home games. So you can estimate they make about $10 million per home game or $80 million in a normal 8 home game schedule.

He is having a year.

Tank season hasn't even started yet. Teams are still playing healthy guys. Wait until they start finding injuries for them to sit, like Utah was doing last year. The bottom of the league will get even worse.

Clippers fall to 4-10. OKC gets their pick this year, no protection.
