Media Money isn’t as important as Billionaire Donor Money, time to catch up
Why do you think Franklin chose Virginia Tech over SEC schools? Why do you think UVA and Vanderbilt flipped from the bottom of their conference in football so fast? How can Indiana football chew up the B1G and SEC and go 16-0 so fast after being the bottom of the B1G in football for many decades? The paradigm has shifted and it doesn’t pay to keep living in the past.
PS Look out for Stanford football over the next couple of years, big bucks, I mean really big bucks to pay players, with people that aren’t trying to pick Olympic Sports coaches, they know football personnel.
