It’s nothing new either. 30+ years ago this football thing was obvious and BE tried. But
Now the cork is blown off forever with this money, good God. For college football. Damn.
Everyone is going to love watching these behemoths try to get knocked off in the NCAAT. Well, assuming it doesn’t become a football P5 invitational.

I just saw that Alabama has made a plea to its fan base and alumni to up their contributions as they’re being out bid for players. When a legendary program like Bama is pleading for money it’s just another indication of how screwed up college sports has become .
How Texas billionaires made SMU a college football contender
The support of the deep-pocketed donors has quickly launched the program from mediocrity to national relevance.
It's absurd. I must get hit up for a donation to one thing or another at least ten times a week. The fundraising industry has gotten totally out of control. In most cases, you have no idea where your money is going or how it's being spent (similar to our NIL).
i think they've been trying to make it a P5 invitational for the last few years. the money is shadowing the entire point of why people are interested .
anyway i was a big apacolyptic doomer when this NIL stuff started happening a few years ago.
and unfortunately it's looking just as fatal as i expected. i really think college sports as we know it is done. at least for a long while.

They didn't even have to hit up Mark Cuban. Plus oil price was very high when SMU needed to raise $$$.How Texas billionaires made SMU a college football contender

Clearly, we can't afford to because we did. I think what's confusing you is Dan. Hurley said that MTE tournaments are a thing of the past. in this new environment, it makes more sense for teams to host Home and Away or neutral sites that allow for revenue to be made by the teams playing the games, rather than event organizers.
For what it's worth, I would take that CBS list with a grain of salt because there's a lot of circular reasoning in there. In essence, they've concluded that P4 have a higher value because they receive higher media contracts, thus TV partners should pay them more, which in turn will give them a higher value, which in turn mean they should be paid more....
Yea I don't read much into Hurley's comments. The new environment seems to incentivize teams to do the home/away games at neutral sites (big time arenas, as he said) or join things like the "players invitation tournaments" that exposure you to the same big time competition as the better MTEs but also provide NIL sources.
On top of that, Hurley was likely speaking off the cuff out of frustration or to just F with people. Again, I liken a lot of the stuff he says to stuff you hear from Cal, Pitino, and other coaches like that who are lightning rods for their programs. Sometimes they are sending a message to someone. Sometimes they are just venting publicly because they are who they are and don't care who doesn't like it. Sometimes it's a combination of both. And sometimes is just trolling to have fun.
Means nothing most of these programs have negative cash flow.
