The weirdest part of this New Era of "College" Football is that Indiana was bankrolled by PSU, duhO$U & scUM via rev-sharing.

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Without the Conference's absurdly structured rev-sharing, Indiana never could have rolled the dice on their new professional team (forget about 1-year, they never would have had the stream of annual revenues to bankroll this venture.... rev-sharing has completely removed the financial risk for Indiana (IOW, "The Conference" has given them a free-lunch off of PSU's, duhO$U's and scUM's dime).

Since Duke beat UVA, JMU will now be in the National Playoff as one of the 5 highest ranked Conference Champions. I'm rooting for JMU in the Playoffs - at least their players and program truly represent JMU and are not a bunch of mercenaries brought in to put on a jersey they really have nothing to do with. We are seeing why Notre Dame has refused to engage in this nonsense - why should Notre Dame share their hard-earned successful annual revenues with in-state bottom-feeders like Purdue or Indiana so they can turn around and spend ND's $$$ to buy mercenaries for a "team" supposedly representing their university? CFB has become an unsustainable joke as we are seeing with Colorado's failed financial roll of the dice.... it brought them one year of mediocre success and has now saddled the school with massive liabilities to professional football players annually in perpetuity (to the tune of - $35 mm and growing that the school's general budget must now pay to the professional football team named "Colorado University".). Utterly absurd - and how the state of Colorado is allowing higher-education funds to be wasted like this is rather baffling.

Listen moron, Mark Cuban is not supplying a fraction of the support for them that revenue-sharing has (which has been providing this financial lifeblood for Indiana's high-budget football team [relative to their own paltry historic revenues] for decades.). Indiana made a huge financial roll of the dice same as Colorado, except that Indiana's was a riskless option as PSU, duhO$U and scUM were paying the bill and providing the L/T financial guarantee of the extremely costly transaction via revenue-sharing. Notre Dame looks like geniuses to stay away from this absurdity for their University (i.e., give up control of your massive financial revenues and lose your own financial independence so the corrupt clowns at the b1g Conference can control them).

Umm--Mark Cuban is supplying their NIL
I'm not sure why you think TV revenue is the same as NIL money but that's par for the course for you
Penn State makes more money being in the Big Ten than we would if we were an Independent

No dumb@$$, b1g teams are permitted to use revenue up to $20 million for NIL. You don't know what the f you're talking about. Cuban is not supporting Indiana's Football Spending well beyond their traditional means for decades.... nor is Cuban as big a funder of Indiana's current Football Spending or NIL spending as Indiana's Revenue Share in b1g is. You're full of crap as per usual and don't know squat about what you are talking about. Let me guess, you think Notre Dame is making less revenues than had they joined this pos, corrupt conference??? Good Lord you're a babbling moron - go pound salt you b1g-shill a-hole troll.

Cuban was an open checkbook for Indiana. Fact not opinion.
We're not Notre Dame. There's a reason we joined a conference...and they will sooner than later as well.
