P2's will shed some dead weight at some point. Why split the pie up 18-20 schools when at least 2-4 in each conference being no where near what new members are bringing.

Stadium helps us join the P5 castaways.

Some of if not all of  Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern and Rutgers will all probably be pushed out at some point. I am not sure the SEC gets rid of Vandy though because they are really good in baseball and softball.

I agree with Jim, we are building it for the conference we want to be in.  

Did we make projections based on our current situation?  Probably pretty close to that.  I haven't seen them.  But that's not the point.  There's no guarantee that the AAC will be around in 2026.  We could be playing St. Leo.  Nope, they shut down their football...

Yeah, that is the point. You're not building it hoping and praying you get an invite to higher conference to pay for it. If you get one, great ........ with the extra money, we can build a lazy river.

I'm glad you get the point.

The theory that I have behind this is that these power conferences will have tougher standards. Those that are not bringing in the values are getting left behind and replaced…

We were talking about being proactive in building one and there was nothing to elicit the urgency you're talking about. We had two models that showed one wasn't a necessity and WE were doing fine without one.

This is a wild take...

College Football is much different from the 90s... 

Disney/Fox have corrupted the sport. 
 

Here a clue: In the last few rounds of realignment... when has a school moved up without an OCS?

I 100 percent agree with the sentiment but have always found it odd that the OCS plans came not that long after Cincy, UCF, and Houston left for the Big 12. I do believe that the two were related and that USF administration believes that we need  a stadium for the eventuality of being invited by a  Power 5 ( maybe now 4) conference. But yes regardless we need it for the fanbase as well

Absolutely, Spot on!

You could replace "sport" with literally everything they touch, but yes the sport.
