This stuff is getting so tiring! And the departures are still two years off! All of the money-grabbing has to stop some time, doesn't it? IMHO I don't think it's in Cal's best interest to pursue becoming one of the semi-pro teams; it's just not who we are (e.g., Bama, SC, OSU, etc.). Besides looking at the revenue side, how about the expense side? For example, MW teams have survived on $3M annual TV payouts. FCS teams even less. Why don't the uninvited BCS schools intentionally decide to pull out and create a new level of college football with lower caps on expenses for coaches' salaries, scholarships, etc., so we can all live within our means? Say $20M/year so that we create a new level playing field and get rid of the arms race. That way, the PAC12 could live within and be content with its budget.
