The proposed deal with a Luxembourg-based firm would bring a massive influx of cash to the league

Big 12 teams are currently earning $31.7 million each with Fox and ESPN in a media rights deal that ends in 2031. Add in the cash infusion from private equity, and the two revenue streams would combine to move the Big 12  "much closer" to the Big Ten media rights deal, according to a person with intimate knowledge of the proposal.

What could go wrong?   

Oof. Bending over for Fox, ESPN, and a PE firm. Good luck to them.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Can public universities enter into these contracts?

Haha so it's sell out and inevitably be ruined or be ruined.  Pretty sad and pathetic.  I wonder what influence these firms get with their investment?  What board seats to they get and where?

It's very easy to make people accept things.  You just say you have to do this because things are getting worse.  Then things get worse and then you tell them they need to do the next thing.  Pumping more and more detached money in isn't going to fix things.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
