From a top to bottom athletics dept? They aren't in the same realm as we are. We have more NCs in soccer than all of their sports programs combined.

The weaklings have no leverage to say no. If the big draws can't form their own super conference because they'll all beat each other up constantly, what leverage do they have to demand more? There's power in numbers. OSU and UM need the Big Ten as much as it needs them. They ain't going to the SEC, so where could they threaten to go?

Their gameday atmosphere is closer to UAB than the rest of the SEC or even IU. Since Wilson came to IU, I don't think they're anywhere close to us. With our new president's interest in sports, I think that gap will only get wider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bill in the California legislature that called to directly pay college athletes from certain school revenue streams. Senate Bill 1401, the College Athlete Race and Gender Equity Act died in appropriations hearings but is going to be revived at some point. And just as California forced the NIL hand for schools, other states will have to pass similar legislation if they want to keep pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that the Governor wants USC and UCLA to make as much money as they can? Or does that notion stop when those schools want to leave the Pac 12?

Given that USC is a private school, I would hope that the governor is more focused on state backed schools, UCLA, Cal-Berkeley,etc. USC is always going to get theirs. And certainly, as the school is in the state, they will have to abide by any rules the state's government enacts. However, in not taking state tax revenues, I wonder if they have any leeway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gov Gavin Newsom's feelings were hurt because the UCLA decision was made without him knowing first, or being involved at all. That means he didn't have the opportunity to extract political gain from the situation. Like most politicians, Newsom wants what's best for Newsom. He's also considering a Presidential run for 2024, so he has to hog the cameras as much as possible. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't really seem to care that UCLA wanted to go to the B1G but was just upset that he found out about it the same way as everyone else and he wasn't involved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Newsom looks like Mr. Mackey from South Park. Purdue plays at Mackey arena. Somehow Newsom and Purdue are tangentially related because I said so, and they suck. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
