[QUOTE="HG73, post: 2895332, member: 19737"] Actually Nebraska only needs to make one phone call: to the jilted network. "Hello, Fox? Say, if we could put together 9 teams from the Big10 and PAC, and maybe Boise and BYU, would you guys be interested in broadcasting the games?" Fox (or whomever) "Well hell yes we would." Nebraska: "How much would you be willing to pay us?" Fox: (calculator clicking in the background) "How about $20million per team? Let me make a few phone calls and I can probably guarantee you more." Nebraska: "Sounds good, by the time you get back to me I can probably have the teams lined up. Thanks." Nebraska calls Kevin and Larry: "Hey, we put together a little deal with Fox to broadcast the games of the Big10 and PAC schools that really want to play this year. They say they can pay us $30mil each this year. We'll see you next fall." Deafening silence before Kevin and Larry fold up like deck chairs. [/QUOTE]
