UC gets $3,500,000

[ralph1950]

UC is receiving $3,500,000 for this week's football game in DC.

If the basketball team went to the Final 4 and won the NC they would only receive about $2,000,000 for it.

Shows why college realignment and TV dollars are all about football, football, and more football. Basketball is nothing but an after thought.

Correct. I've been trying to tell you this for the last 2 weeks with realignment

It went toward the cost of the $15,000,000 Sheakley Athletic Center, the bubble and new practice fields.

No, I knew that football runs college sports all along. What you have been trying to tell me is that the Big 12 is going to expand past 10 members, that is not happening anytime soon as they are very, very, happy splitting the pot 10 ways instead of 12 or 14.

You are contradicting your own argument. More teams + a ccg = equal more revenue. That's a proven fact. That is why the big 12 expansion committee is meeting.

Wrong, both Fox and ESPN told Big 12 a CCG or more teams would not mean more money.
