What's this?

Another 🏀 school is the opposite direction to close the 30 mil a yr deficit

We did the basketball Big East Conference and it was better than Indy, but the football side fell apart. Now we are in the basketball centric ACC and we are $30,000,000 and climbing behind. Over 15 years we are going to be a 1/2 Billion dollars behind as a fairly conservative estimate. That’s because the SEC and B1G are football Conferences…not basketball Conferences.

Sorry to be so blunt, but things are really really bad if you look at the math and we keep doing what we have always done as a Conference.
