What's this?

Not sure. And I'm not predicting it. But to take a stab at your question:


If you look at the SEC network for instance. They might just stick to what brings the network money. Football, men's basketball, and baseball and maybe softball. You know, stuff people actually watch in the South. In those sports, they wouldn't need to add any schools because I think all schools in the conference have these sports already to make for a nice competitive group. And let's face it. Most of the SEC programing is about football in the offseason anyway. Paul Finebaum, retro games, Spring Games, etc.

I am thinking about sports and conferences where they don't have many members: like the ACC in wrestling. Or maybe the B1G for lacrosse. and plenty of other examples. They could invite other schools and given them a proportional cut of the TV money. Or they could just bail on putting the sport on TV if it brings no value (viewers) and cut the sport lose to play more regional competition.

  Is it not true that players will not actually be given paychecks? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/26/2021 3:06PM

  If you do it that way, is what they get paid taxed? ** -- Stech 06/21/2021 10:37PM
  Yes, but would guess many would not make enough to pay significant tax ** -- elkridgehokie 06/26/2021 11:07PM
  Certainly. Professional athletes pay taxes. -- HOO86 06/21/2021 10:44PM
  Yeah, but if you make them pay their tuition, they won't be paying taxes -- reestuart 06/23/2021 09:31AM
  Man the unintended consequences on this one are going to be interesting. ** -- Stech 06/22/2021 05:55AM
