The only expansion left for major media dollars is the best of what is left of the Group of 5. The upcoming 'Par5' Media deal is going to be the last major separation in D1 sports based on media value. Net, the existing AAC and 2 more teams at about $12M to $15M+ will complete the separation. I think that means 'last call' for BYU and Boise, both Football only. The champion of the AAC in a contract bowl or Playoff. Net, 80 or so teams in the P6.

The Champion of the AAC will NEVER NEVER get into the playoff. NEVER. UCF went 12-0, Western Michigan went 13-0 and neither were even close. NEVER will the cartel let a non-member in a 4 game playoff. NEVER!

All teams not in the cartel are playing for a league championship and the weakest of all New Years Bowls in that year (2 Peach, 1 Cotton, 1 Fiesta). Which means they will also NEVER get into the Rose Bowl. The game not the stadium. And the schools that got screwed are too chicken to take the cartel to court. Just like elections, weakness in leadership has its consequences.

Shy of the NYE bowl, a league champ has no dedicated bowl so the $$$ could force a team to play in any minor league bowl game the cartel chooses - the Monistat Bowl, the Imodium Bowl, the Rear Tractor Tire Bowl. Who cares - the BOT and their two flunkies - Ono and Williams - screwed the University and caused irreparable damage. Think I'm wrong - just hang out in Nippert after halftime for all home games this season.

But most of you would rather put on your blue and orange and boast about how its going to bring thousands of new people to campus for the first time. LOL - in two years it will be gone. Then what? 1984 - that's what. Zero long term vision- actually that's wrong with capital improvements. But UC surely didn't need the huge Golden Corral attached to Nippert. Empty seats again. There are seats in that club that have NEVER been sold in its history. But UC built it anyway. "Build it and they will come" is just a movie guys. Hope the Fifth Third rennovation is not the same - already hearing about obstructed views - lol.

"Thank you sir, may I have another" seems appropriate for the clowns in Clifton.

First of all, the huge Golden Corral is beautiful. Second, what is the irreparable damage that's been caused to the university? Third, can you please for the love god tell us what you would have done differently instead of bitching and moaning about things that were largely out of UC's control?

LMAO. Rag with his monthly piss and moan fest. If anything the upgraded press box and luxury seating was 20 years overdue. "Build it and they will come" is no where near what happened. Business community had been asking for premium seating for years. The Shoemaker renovations are going extremely well and seats are selling. The Cincinnati market is simple - if you win and/or "considered an event" fans come out. Just look at the Reds games, empty seats galore.
