How far should Stanford go to secure a big 10 spot?

If we offer to take a 10% revenue split increasing annually by 10% until full share does that move the needle? It's embarrassing to prostrate ourselves like that, but still is probably a better alternative then going independent or staying in the carcass of the pac. We also have the financials to take a short term loss to secure a long term future.

The financials are an interesting question/issue, I agree with you that Stanford has the financials to make it work, but that assumes competent financial management.
