Sure, because its more than what most teams in the SEC offer. We went from newcomer to probably third most valuable SEC team in one shot.

Who the SEC couldn't get instead of us is irrelevant. Notre Dame could have offered even more money than us. They didn't come, we did, and that is reality.

That kind of influence DOES matter, just ask all the LSU fans that will be forced to travel to a big game on the day they normally visit with family.
