Hate to break it to you, but I outlined a similar proposal a year ago. Your hero wasn’t being novel. Moreover, chipper is proposing all Power 5 teams, which is asinine. The key is to get rid of Illinois, Indiana and Vandys of the world and add FSU, UM and Clemson.
Yes, ownership would provide logistics. The reality, at least at the beginning, is you will enter into leases with the universities to utilize their current venues. You’d also have the option to build newer facilities.
Although espn is an unlikely owner, why would they play favorites if they owned it all. Do the Cowboys get preferential treatment via a vis the Packers? The play here, if you’re actually looking for single ownership is a VC (Ellison for example) or APPL or AMZN or NFLX and then set up a platform.
