it's a serious issue, IMO. More than a lot of you want to care to think.


So is the money required to be competitive at the next level I'd say minimum is $30 million a year. So where are you going to get an extra $10-12-15 million every year, and sustain that into the future. You can Jack ticket prices and teammaker dues at the cost of alienating some of the fan base? I don't think it will net as much as some of you think it will.

This isn't even considering the COA payments which will be even more necessary at FBS level.
