That isnt exactly good advertisement for their program. Imagine being a recruit and hearing they are on the ropes financially.
I don’t know about the SEC’s situation, but the B1G’s “power brokers” would never gut the conference. There’s no way in hell
I took a closer look at this. The BIG XII is in a very bad spot. Imagine their TV contract is going to tank.
I suppose he’ll have more chances to bolt in the future if he maintains his success, but as of now, Matt Campbell is learning the hard way that nice guys finish last.
When they realize 4-5 teams are carrying the water for the rest they may ask for more than their “equal share” of the revenue.
When they “realize” it? It’s been that way for decades.
ISU is going to buy Hickory Park and move it to their new fake downtown.
Perhaps the most overrated restaurant I've ever been to.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules but a short quote from the article: "Vested Big Ten members are slated to earn $82.7 million — a jump of about $7.4 million — from the league office this fiscal year. Play-in games and guaranteed slots in a 16-team tournament would continue to grow department coffers when they are faced with new expenditures related to revenue sharing with athletes."
I've said this multiple times. These two leagues NEED teams like Iowa, Illinois etc.., etc..If they only have top ten or whatever teams in a conference how. are they going to play each other. Home and homes? Do people REALLY think that the bottom part of that mega power conf, (and remember SOMEONE has to lose those games), is going to be good with going 4-8 multiple years? Really? Someone like USC or Oklahoma, or PSU, when they only have the other top ten teams on their schedule starts losing 6-8 games minimum. Someone has to lose guys. This isn't going to go over with either of the P2 unless they lose their minds...
Every objective review I have seen says Iowa is around the 20th most valuable franchise in the country. You could add 2 or 3 if anyone thinks 20 is too high, but certainly anyone in that range is in the top tier of programs nationwide.
Because those teams (say Iowa) not being able to stay competitive will only hurt the group. Iowa is right where they want them. Good enough provide a possible challenge and be interesting, but probably not beat the OSU, Michigans, etc.. very often.
He is laughing with his millions. You have that kind of savings and the level of caring about more and more dwindles.
They can still buy players, they just can't buy as many. More selective pick and choose.
Additionally, in the Big Ten at least, conference membership is voted on by the presidents or chancellors. Those are smart people who know that the Big Ten's academic consortium brings in a lot more money to the schools than athletic programs do.
Most NFL teams have been in the playoffs within the last 5 years.
the draft and the schedule being somewhat based on previous years performance ensures a level of parity.
most teams in big ten will never sniff the playoff.
Yes and No.
KC is small market but they've driven a lot of TV ratings the last few years. The NFL also has a structure with salary cap and the draft to balance things out. It's worked pretty well. Dallas is the most $$ franchise but they haven't been able to buy wins. KC is one of the smaller markets but they built a mini dynasty.
My ***. Lions are hot now. Buffalo is hot now.
it changes all the time except for cowboys.
Yup and any player that has a good season will be poached from them.
The problem in Dallas is the way Jerry spends his money. He had a great thing going and between his arrogance and the beginning of a tighter salary cap after the 2nd super bowl win led to his undoing. Now he won't get out if his own way....
EIU is around $230 million in debt, granted they have more money coming in because of their TV deal, but this was nothing more than a hit piece by the IC paper. EIU also scaled back some projects recently like what they were going to spend on the baseball stadium.
Where this goes, no one really knows, Pollard has stated ISU has money to pay up the $20 million a year for the next 2 years, after that unless more money is brought in, than ISU will have to get creative. No reason the state could not raise the money they are taxes on sports gambling in the state currently at a very low 5% and give that extra money to the three state schools.
I believe that data is from 2019 and does not include added fans from Ariz, ASU, Colo and Utah which adds roughly another 5 Mil. But it's still bad and probably why the B12 rejected Memphis and Pollard referenced the conference declining media revenue
EIU has to be one of the dumbest attempts at an insult. Is that what passes as mocking from you losers from Lames? It's like when a 5 year old thinks calling someone "poop head" is edgy and cool.
