I would think that the larger contracts involve some kind of performance bond or insurance as a fallback in the event of the risk of non performance or inability to execute the obligations in the contract.

I ignored Southeastern. An obvious statistical outlier not even remotely relavent.

I can attest that acceptance into the tiger band fraternity in 1974 involved lots of alcohol, sex acts, sheep, extreme sleep deprivation, prostitutes, drugs, public nudity (remember streaking was a big thing back then), partial drowing, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

I see I see in the future kick backs from the players to coaches for playing time, joint endorsement deals. This will not be good.

LSU $546.02 million This is why LSU is fricked under this new scheme of athletic operations. More NCAA restrictions will fall given the precedent set by this case. Those rankings are of the college’s prestige and standing in academics. My two daughters graduated from Columbia and one played volleyball there. I’m not saying any of the Ivies will jump ship and become independents like Notre Dame, etc., but they all have the financial ability to do so and to compete for the best athelets, but its possible. I’m more worried about Texas A & M out pacing LSU given the disparity in their endowment balances.

I have not read any of the posts in this thread, but SEC is fricked. You know how much the Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and the other Ivies have in their endowments that dwarf any SEC school’s? It's gonna be a whole new ball game my friends. It's gonna start with paying the best coaches, to recruit the best players money can buy. Drop in the bucket for the Ivy League schools, the Stanfords, the Notre Dames, heck even Tulane.

You forgot Mamou. More fights in Mamou than in all the cities combined.

Y'all presume too much. Vaccines are a wonderfully thing.

...or they rely on Traiteurs for treatment of covid.
