The "defectors" athletic departments would be bankrupted. How can they

survive, much less compete, without that revenue. They can't.

Our best move is probably to cling to the GoR and make bank off defectors.

What if there is no "bank" to be had?

They aren’t paying the ACC $35 million a year.

Gonna borrow $100M per year for 13 years? How do you pay that back?
133743Hokie 07/11/22 09:14 AM ET
Borrow $35M/year to cover what they currently live with

How do they compete in the new conference? Doormat status for 23 years
133743Hokie 07/11/22 10:03 AM ET
On the backs of students!**

Probably could finance that with high interest bonds**
MrBayAreaHokie 07/11/22 09:08 AM ET
Where would the money come from to pay off the bonds? **
133743Hokie 07/11/22 10:04 AM ET
eventually the GORred conf gets their cash flow back
MrBayAreaHokie 07/11/22 10:10 AM ET
So you aren't going to pay on the bonds for 13 years? Then at that point
133743Hokie 07/11/22 11:19 AM ET
So will those schools receive zero media payments for over a decade?
