I mean can you imagine a Chinese or Middle Eastern entity coming along and money whipping UT, OU, Clemson, USC and the top 5 from the B1G and SEC into a new super conference?
It's not just American money. There's just as much, if not more, Asian and Arab money in European football. And even if it was just American money, why should FIFA be able to hold everyone hostage worldwide with threats of heavy financial penalties and sanctions?I disagree, why should this be left up to an American investment firm to money whip everyone?
Not until/unless they break away from the NCAA. Nobody will publicly money whip college athletics in this fashion until the ruse of amateurism is extinguished.I mean can you imagine a Chinese or Middle Eastern entity coming along and money whipping UT, OU, Clemson, USC and the top 5 from the B1G and SEC into a new super conference?

I've read all about that. My point is that JP Morgan didn't just come up with the idea on their own and pitch it to the owners and boards of these clubs. The clubs devised the scheme and went shopping for a financier. If JP Morgan didn't give them the best deal someone else would have and it may or may not have been an American bank. These clubs are heavily beholden to Asian and Arab money just like they are American money. Those are the people making these decisions and plans, not JP Morgan.The money behind the European Super League: JPMorgan
The announcement of a breakaway league at the top of European football has put one of the world's biggest banks in the spotlight.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM), the American financial Goliath, is behind the financing of the European Super League, the controversial new football competition made up of the continents most storied clubs. Funding for the new competition is said to total between $3.8bn (£2.7bn) and $5bn.

Super League is wanted only by a cabal of Europe's elite club owners; fans have been forgotten

anyone find it a bit ironic a writer for espn wrote this article?
A little but if you’ve ever seen him or heard him you’d see he’s definitely not the usual ESPN shrill for sure.

No surprise that apparently one of the large movers and backers of this behind the scenes is that stupid loathsome pos Stan Kroenke.
