PE 💵 can substantially increase Marketing, PR, NIL so that they sell it

at a higher price than they bought it. PE’s usually don’t hold on to companies for decades, their goal often is to increase the value, and get out. Then go find another company that they can do the same with it. It’s an large investors monopoly game of sorts, only they aren’t buying real estate, they are buying, building up companies, and selling them. I have relatives and friends who are partners in PE firms, it’s often times about making money fast!! They constantly try to take the emotions out of it, unlike many fans!!

Stech • 08/19/24 01:58 PM ET
Wouldn't a Super League kill the SEC and B10?

Reading this I keep hearing "Stay the course" from George HW Bush **

Didn't a "Super League" concept get rejected by fans of European Soccer?
gman86 • 08/20/24 10:18 AM ET
Actually UEFA, FIFA, and EU probably had more influence to kill the Super
VTHokie2000 • 08/20/24 05:07 PM ET
Or was that just on Ted Lasso....proffered by the Nigerian billionaire.**
Hokebury • 08/20/24 12:44 PM ET
Yeah, the real sticking point was no relegation

Looks Like Sankey Clearly Gave PE a Thumbs Down
WarHog38 • 08/19/24 04:16 PM ET
No one in a position of strength would want to have anything to do with PE
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/19/24 07:31 PM ET
PE has a reputation, for sure. Funny though, the NBA, MLB, NHL,
Big12 guy • 08/19/24 08:51 PM ET
Yeah, but those are all private institutions.

The only way I see a PE deal working is
Pylons • 08/20/24 11:20 AM ET
I'm not sure the discussions are with individual universities. Except for
Big12 guy • 08/20/24 09:42 AM ET
They are not "public" in the sense of state universities,
Pylons • 08/20/24 11:16 AM ET
We may not be talking "traditional" here. We could be talking future
Big12 guy • 08/20/24 11:54 AM ET
Yep. I posted that elsewhere.**
Pylons • 08/20/24 11:55 AM ET
I would not discount it out of hand either but

It all depends on what the PE money is used for. As an example, the

Stech • 08/20/24 09:39 AM ET
The "it" is very different here from a normal PE deal though
Pylons • 08/20/24 11:43 AM ET
You could call it venture capital as well. It is just private money,
Big12 guy • 08/20/24 09:46 AM ET
Sankey ultimately wants control, which is understandable.**
Stech • 08/19/24 05:25 PM ET
Projections are often lies......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 02:33 PM ET
But not always
tarheelblue • 08/19/24 04:50 PM ET
That data was available to VT as well as Maryland.
TDVick • 08/20/24 02:39 AM ET
I did nor say always.......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 05:25 PM ET
Excellent point!!**
Stech • 08/19/24 05:23 PM ET
Inside99 was not my boy, but this is straight from Sankey saying they are
Stech • 08/19/24 03:06 PM ET
For the record......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 03:27 PM ET
I argued with Inside 99 many times, I did let him speak, sometimes the best
Stech • 08/19/24 03:38 PM ET
His agenda is the same......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 04:08 PM ET
Remember what’s in play right now
Marooned • 08/19/24 07:53 PM ET
Spot on, he has “an end in mind “, successful CEO’s & Owners have a vision
Stech • 08/20/24 09:25 AM ET
Sankey has learned....
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 08:05 PM ET
Good post for the most part, no problem with you sharing my disagreements
Stech • 08/19/24 04:52 PM ET
I have seen them......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 05:16 PM ET
Haha always a dig at the end from you, have a great evening!! 🦃🦃🦃**
Stech • 08/19/24 05:22 PM ET
That was a statement.......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 05:29 PM ET
Link to a thread where you and I agree and disagree with Inside99 🔗**
Stech • 08/19/24 05:53 PM ET
Nice cherrypick........
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 05:59 PM ET
It’s a fact in your mind only, have a great evening!**
Stech • 08/19/24 05:45 PM ET
I doubt that.......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 05:52 PM ET
I just gave you proof, read the thread. You are the only one saying this,
Stech • 08/19/24 05:57 PM ET
Like I said,.......
2hhoop3 • 08/19/24 06:01 PM ET
You want to fight no matter the facts, I have better things to do.**
Stech • 08/19/24 08:23 PM ET
You've got a pretty sound perspective on Sankey. He should be trusted
Big12 guy • 08/19/24 04:15 PM ET
I have heard a few times national reporters believe Sankey
HouClone • 08/19/24 06:01 PM ET
Greg Sankey could care less about the "best interest of college football."
Baltimore_Hokie • 08/20/24 10:20 AM ET
Tim Brando and to a lower level Joel Klatt
