The UGAA's 2023 gross revenues were $210.1million. Operating expenses were $186.6. This deal is going to make attending and experiencing too expensive to maintain that little bit of profit. All these folks saying the "schools and conferences are making millions of dollars off of them" don't realize how expensive it is to make people want to come and watch them perform and to send them around the country to see them perform in front of others.

Hopefully they seek more revenues from the broadcast folks before they hit the average ticket holder, but I'm thinking they're going to try to cast a wide net. It will probably take a good number of people out of the queue. You'll start to see a lot fewer people attend some games. Smaller schools will have to abandon athletic programs altogether.

Greed, pure and simple, is going to kill the nation's best sport. I'm going to keep my comments at that, because I could say a whole lot more.

Get ready for NFL level ticket prices and concession prices. TV networks got what they wanted, an NFL Jr. pro football league.
