[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FSU may have engaged the services of an investment banker (JP Morgan Chase) and a private equity (PE firm Sixth Street) firm to raise money as well as to have access to sufficient capital to first make a settlement offer and to have a sufficient show of capital to fund an expensive court battle (which is a great & often effective settlement strategy).[/quote]

FSU and Clemson are overvaluing themselves too. Does the SEC even want schools at more than a partial share like what UW and Oregon got?[/quote]

[b]ESPN has made it clear that they don't want more product[/b]. They have to be hoping for the Big10 [/quote]

Additionally, this is a great point regarding over-saturation of college football on TV and on other media. How much is too much ?

The Big Ten Conference has an advantage because it is in multiple time zones.

Also, if college football develops into two or three major conferences, demand may plummet for games featuring teams from lesser conferences.

Clemson's Head Coach Dabo Sweeney was quoted as predicting that college football is quickly headed into an era of just 40 to 50 teams. (I think that he meant 40 to 50 teams of consequence.) 40 to 50 teams means 20 to 25 games a week at most since some teams have bye weeks. Games are no longer played on just Saturdays so the development of 2 or 3 mega-conferences may result in fewer games worthy of being aired on major media broadcast stations.[/quote]
