I always thought the CIC was very misleading about what it really was

particularly with the claims of total research $$$ that you mentioned...the institutions did that independent of the CIC The BTAA seems a little less like that for whatever reason. Maybe someone told them to stop selling the snake oil. lol.

Tailgate Guru • 04/20/23 11:28 AM ET
It is simply a question of money. Florida can deliver it.
33laszlo99 • 04/20/23 05:41 PM ET
How long can that discrepancy in rates last?

Indeed. "Does this addition make us more money?" is all that really matters

Pretty soon conferences are going to get good at removing their deadwood.

Research grants should be about as important to athletic conference
Pylons • 04/22/23 09:24 AM ET
Then You Must Use that Same Logic On the B1G Adding Just AAU Members In the
WarHog38 • 04/22/23 01:02 PM ET
I do use that same logic.

VaTechHokiesACC • 04/23/23 04:49 AM ET
the state is 100% insane for starting a war with them.

Disney is the insane one.
