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

They are paying every cent they earn in their new conference. To the ACC. They stay in the ACC and they earn equal To their peers. They move to the SEC and they earn $100M less than their peers. For over a decade. And if you think the assumption that the newer contracts in 2036 will be more than They are now, much less equal, given the state of TV subscriptions, pulling the plug, less live TV, ratings declines in college football, well, that’s kinda silly to dig yourselves a half billion dollars in debt…

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

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

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
El Paso Hokie • 07/11/22 09:50 AM ET
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
