Can someone explain this to me like I am a UCF grad? I don’t understand what this means

 

Let's put it into applied mathematics for the UCF grad.

According to:  

REALMENUPRICES.COM

McDonalds is arguably the biggest name in the global fast food industry and they serve an astonishing 68 million customers each day. This company has grown substantially...

 

The price of a large fries is $1.89.    So for $30MM you could get 30,000,000 / 1.89 = 15873015.873. 

On your cash register, you'd have to hit the button with the picture of the large fries over 15 million times.  That's alot of fries!

So T-Mobile is paying USF enough money to buy 15,873,015 orders of large fries, and you'd still have some change left over.

The same basic mathematical principle would apply to say chocolate shakes or hot apple pies.

The right to use the airwaves to transmit stuff is an asset. Kinda like owning railroad tracks. 

We owned some "space" in the airwaves that allowed us the ability to transmit stuff (tv/radio etc)

We sold it

You've heard of USF "USFing" things up before, right? Well, the biggest way USF can "USF" this OCS thing up is to not include shade structures of some kind. I can't emphasize how important it is to include some kind of shade in the stadium. It's one of the most important features, if not the most important feature.

It’s amazing how creative an organization can be when they make something their priority. Now someone explain to me how we wouldn’t have been allowed to whore out our airwaves for anything of actual value to our relevance and that money in only works when you waste it on stadiums.

We used to call USFing when people follow you while walking to your car to grab your spot.

You know how Jimbo Fisher is getting $75mil from TxA&M for doing nothing? USF was able to sell something that's doing nothing for USF for $30mil

There won't be shade...costs would be ~$50M more just to shade one side.

    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.
