Sources: Big Ten closes in on $2 billion capital deal

The Big Ten is approaching a vote on a capital agreement and the formation of Big Ten Enterprises, which would infuse league schools with more than $2 billion, according to sources.

I think we all know what happens to companies/products once private equity gets involved. Eventually they will start to dictate decisions, and those guys are worse-qualified than most administrators to do that. It's really naive to think otherwise because we've seen this time and time again.

Private equity will get their money %/year if you can‘t pay it in cash, then they will get by liquidating assets. They are ruthless. They want a return on investment and don’t care at all about tradition.

True that fat isn’t necessarily “unhealthy,” but eating a crockpot full of cheese and sour cream isn’t “healthy” by any standard. You can lose weight simply by controlling calories, which you can theoretically do while eating crockpots full of cheese and sour cream, but that doesn’t make it “healthy.” It just makes your caloric intake has been right-sized.

Not trying to be harsh, just trying to be helpful and make that distinction.

All I'm doing is giving from personal experience exactly what has worked for me. I eat lots of cheese and dairy and I have LOST weight doing that. I cut out all carbs and sugar. No bread, no pasta, no rice. I try to stay away from starches. I don't do a lot of vegetables. I haven't been sick at all for over 5 years and I feel better than I've ever felt. I changed nothing else but my diet. People I see who I haven't seen in awhile can't believe how much I've lost. I tell all of them exactly how I did it.

And it's coming to the rest of college football. Private equity purchasing rosters ect. Heck there are hedge funds buying Duke players. It's why I said you have to be naive to not understand what's coming. It's really been bothering me.

I’m not disputing that you can lose weight — and thereby get healthier — eating like that… or, really, eating almost anything… as long as you eat few enough calories in total. I’m just saying that there is still a massive “health” difference between eating [X] calories of cheese and sour cream per day and eating a nutritious and well-balanced diet of [X] calories per day, even if they have similar effects on weight loss.

The doctors I learned this diet from say that calories are irrelevant. They don't think you can even accurately measure calories because calories in processed food are not the same as the equivalent calories of something like red meat. Even Harvard Health says stop counting calories. Stop counting calories - Harvard Health

What they are doing is the death knell. It will take a while to happen, but it will destroy CFB. There will be some kind of dead soulless garbage parading as CFB for zombie people with no soul to watch...but it won't be the beautiful thing we have always had.

It will have to transform. I don't have any idea what that's going to look like, but there is a limit to how much profit can be made on college football. It will only get more expensive to compete for titles.
