Sure, they can pay top dollar, but starting next year there will be at least 6, maybe as many as 10, programs whose fans will not accept less than 9 wins in a season, and given their scheduling model, how many can achieve that? And even if they do get to 9, what will be their chance of making the 12 team field?
I guess the Vandys and SCARs of the world, with SEC money and no expectations, will still be able to find sacrificial lambs who kid themselves into thinking these are stepping stone jobs.
