It’s an everything issue. Some of the teams are better than perceived (PR issue). They serve TV markets that are three hours behind requiring a 9 a.m. kickoff to get visibility on the East Coast (Marketing issue). Their presence in the CFP has been less than minimal (Product issue). Their struggle with COVID-19 was a disaster causing games with zero fans or requiring teams to relocate out of state to play games (Operations issue). And that’s just football.

How big of a raise will he get is the question

To me I doubt it would be enough to take on that kind of project, on top of the cost of living increase he'd see would almost outweigh the financial benefit.
