[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1212536, member: 7536"] Just busting your chops...& don't forget we are a football school now. But you're right, other than a debatable piece of the Chicago market our football program hasn't held up there share of the deal. The other side of this deal is the original big footprint is a generally a dying northern rustbelt with the population and power shifting south slowly. The SEC is clearly the best football conference on the field, but we are still winning the revenue battle. Also twisted into this tale is that we have an academic arrangement as well as an athletic deal, which makes it all interesting politics. [/QUOTE]
