We should offer to pay them for the first few years ...

Honestly, I would make that deal. I'd give the Big 12 our Big East money. Within 5 years we turn a profit on that even with a 50%, 75%, 100% tiered set up.

actually the added revenue from just extra ticket sales with a big12 schedule would probably give us more money than we get from the AAC annually. 

 

Go Bulls!

There is no amount that is "too low" for us to take.

That's my thought. Imagine our home slate this year with something like FSU, Oklahoma, WVU, and UCF coming to town. That's 3 sellouts and, depending on if UCF learns how to play football again, a potential 50,000+ for that game.

**** you....  I told you to stop writing things that I agree with....  now I'm going to get a rash and that quiet place we don't speak about in public

We keep bringing up the potential that we bring to the B12. I think that IF we were invited, or put into a bidding war with other wannabes, that the potential would have to be a major factor on how low the "bid" could be. 

WVU went in with a four year deal. We could go in with a five, seven or even a 10 year deal. "Big 12 schools divvied up a record $252.6 million Friday in conference revenues"

Face it. Right now they apparently don't see any value in adding USF, only potential.

Obviously, otherwise, we'd have already been invited.

You don't even need sellouts.  What do we get from the AAC payout, about 2 million per year?   Divide that by 6 games (increase in season ticket sales would be for all games) and then add many more for one or two games.   2 Million divided by 6 is 333,333 per game, which at $40( actually this amount is probably on the low side)  is only 8,333 tickets to make up the lost AAC revenue.

We would go from 1.6 million to more than 20 million per year with a move to the Big 12.

Looks like the Big 12 is looking at UCONN, BYU, Cincy, and Colorado State as the only options
