It is simple. That’s why your responses make me chuckle. The OP had it correct, you said they were wrong and corrected them with what they had posted. Your details were a little off as well but you stick with the correcting a poster with what they posted.
Rutgers $78m in debt
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Not sure what these other idiots are trying to say but this is my exact interpretation too. The post claiming schools are paid $20m looked like some crappy google AI compilation
OK, but if student fees and the state provide funding, then the debt is only 47.2. They got the money, they don't owe it back
University endowments are usually very highly restricted funds that can only be used in ways that align with the wishes of donors, and a big chunk of that value is likely in the form of non-liquid assets. It's not like a rainy day fund that the university president or AD can just dip into. If it were that easy I'm sure they would.
F—- ND.
I would be in favor of ending the Rutgers/Maryland experiments.
Just stay at 16 schools.
Perfectly sets up the 4-team pods:
Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin
Ohio St, Michigan, UCLA, USC
Iowa, Nebraska, Purdue, Indiana
N’western, Illinois, MSU, PSU
5 school lock-in to play each other every year with 4 others rotating onto it.
example 1 -
Iowa plays its 3 pod members plus Minn and Wis as their lock-in games every year with the remaining 10 rotating randomly to fill out the other four games.
example 2 -
Michigan plays its pod members plus MSU and N’western as its lock-ins with the remaining 10 rotating in to fill out their conference schedule.
*they could also consider a TEN game conference schedule where it would then mean 5 schools rotate onto the schedule every two years. Makes good sense.
BOOM!
Or add Stanford and boot Rutgers or Nebraska, always boot Nebraska
And right in my backyard…. This is crazy as Greg S isn’t even in the top 40 highest paid coaches…. This might sink them and I hope not as I love watching the Hawks play in my home state aa it’s an easy drive and cheap tickets …
I always love the “kick out team xx from the B1G” talk. But it’s foolishness. There is no path to kicking teams out & there’s no way any1 leaves. Which is good because it keeps the big boys from throwing us out when they decide to band together for yet more $$ which is inevitable.
No, the schools get approx 80-90 million Per team(except a couple of the left coast teams are getting less) from the TV money. From THAT money they can share up to 22% or around 20 million with athletes however the school decides to distribute that. The schools aren't given 20 million from anyone just for rev share nor are they required to share any of that TV money. And yes any donations in whatever form are on top of that amount.

Pod system always seems to have Iowa in some dog poop group of teams.
Some want to say they they big time football but actually avoid playing anybody at all costs.
If you think there is no way anyone leaves you are naive. There are ways a team like Michigan, etc could leave.
If the conference is going to kick out Rutgers, might as well kick out Penn State too.
Then go back to a 10-team Big Ten at that point.
