Let's $16.67 mil/yr in TV revenue. How much does that buy you? (source: http://tinyurl.com/pms9b4).
-Tennessee spends $3.3 mil... on football assistant coaches.
-Central Florida (C-USA) spends $35.5 mil for ALL athletic programs
-Florida (SEC) $98 million total/year all sports
-Louisiana-Monroe.... $ 7 mil (all sports)
(beating Alabama... priceless)
I can't tell you what Vanderbilt spends because Vanderbilt is a private school and has no "Athletic Department." But, as an NCAA-defined booster of the 'Dores I can tell you we need the 16.6 mil, a good contract negotiated at the start of the economic downturn.

If you do carry your USA-centric GPS across the Atlantic to Africa, save yourself some battery power by disabling WAAS - the Wide-Area Augmentation System. The US has augmented the GPS sattelites with two WAAS satellites, positioned in geostationary orbit above the East and West Coasts. The signals from these "fixed" positions provide a differential method for enhancing accuracy. However, from Africa, trying to use WAAS will waste power and possibly inflate the error in your position.....Also, if your unit permits, an external antenna will do wonders. Carry it on a stick, mount it to your Land Rover, etc., and hide the digital equipment from prying eyes, dust, and weather.
The opening credits do have the HMS Enterprize, the British warship.
In addition, the social climate of the United States throughout the hey-day of NASA dictated that the majority of faces of aero- and astronautical progress would be of persons of European lineage. As NASA gives away film footage like candy to pro-space franchises such as Star Trek, this prior social order is reflected in the opening credits.
