I completely understand the hesitation, but I would trust that Yormark would make sure any deal puts B12’s interest above anything else.
It would have to be bespoke.
Ultimately, a PE investment would only work if there is guaranteed upside (such as adding brands like FSU/Clemson/Miami that would undoubtedly increase the value of the media deal)
With the B12’s current teams, it wouldn’t make much sense.
Our league and our commish already said NO to that. We arent going to owe some outside entity a lot of money. And we sure as h*** arent paying FSU and Clemson exit fees.
They have almost as many F4’s as we do (6 v 7) but have more championship game appearances, and they have actually won a title. Heck, the women’s team blows ours out of the water.
We can get mad, but Syracuse draws big ratings, especially in the NE.
