welcome to the Indy train. what people oddly dont understand is that more money makes things better in college athletics. experts are projecting that B1G schools will get $45 million per school per year. That will thump, by 12 mil per year per team, anything that anyone else is getting. BYU is probably getting about $13-15 per year ESPN + WCC inclusive.
Teams in the MWC are getting 25% of that IF that much.
If Indy is not sustainable, the answer cannot be to go back to the MWC. That would be even LESS sustainable.
