"Only a few handfuls of FBS programs even turn a profit. Those settlement numbers alone could be the first informal separating of the haves from the have-nots.
Currently, there is $600 million being split annually among the 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame.

Acknowledgement of what we have been saying. Even bigger programs like Zona are going to have issues.
