This is nil realities and rev sharing rearing its ugly head. Many high major athletic programs are only cutting their budgets and their staff. Mid-major schools are going to be forced to cut sports to fund the big red machine

Agree on the general concerns and that they are dire for mid-majors.    

But what is the Big Red Machine?  George Foster and his guys (all at or near HoF caliber) could only dream about NIL money.  Smile

The machine is the conglomerate of the football and/or basketball programs of the schools.

The top player from PFW is a top 10 transfer portal guy. They weren't very good but there may be some help available.
