The University of Utah is on the cusp of striking the industry’s first partnership with an equity firm in a marriage that features a nine-figure capital infusion and the creation and shared ownership of a for-profit entity to operate athletics outside of the university.
The new venture is expected to generate as much or more than $500 million in capital — a groundbreaking and innovative move that may pave the way for more schools and conferences to pursue such a concept

The privatization of revenue-generating entities has been common across college campuses for a while now. Granted not at this scale, but LSU, for example, has issued $1 ground leases to developers for Nicholson Gateway and in turn a revenue share of the dorm fees and commercial leases.

Thanks for joining us tonight in this crucial matchup between the University of Utah by Otro Capital and The Texas Tech Red Raiders by Bison oil and gas.

The thing tbat made CFB great was it wasn't soulless and corporate like the NFL. not anymore. The money ruined this. The tradition is dead.

Competing in college football demands $100 million football faculties and $10 million a year coach, $20 million NIL roster per year
this may be better than being at the mercy of boosters

Still not understanding the business sense in a university giving equity to an outside entity. Does their math really tell them they will turn this $500M, I assume largely invested in recruiting teenagers, into a profit? A profit that is then diluted?

The only people ive talked to who actually like the current state of college football are Texas Tech fans
They just cant comprehend how people don't like the direction the sport has been going for some reason

Indiana fans too. Just throw money at the portal every year. Why bother recruiting guys to play for a school. Just buy a roster of seniors every year.
frick this shite.

I'm not even excited for all the LSU news because of where it's all heading. The product isn't as good anymore.

Are we going to look up in 20 years and see something like Chicago and their parking meter disaster with these private equity deals?

I don't know the current status of this, but Michigan and USC were going to fight a private equity deal in the B1G. I think some admins. realize this may end with everything burned to the ground.

I wonder who the first college that PE talks into selling their stadium and paying rent to play there will be?

that lsu project was built on the cheap, it will be crap in ten years
I assume this private equity deal is for the university itself and not so much for athletics because wouldn't the Big 12 conference have to weigh in if a member went this route at the expense of other conference members

Private equity very deliberately ruins everything it touches for profit, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
Boosters are just rich assholes who want the team to win and to be made to feel important.

The decline is real
It was a great run while it lasted
