Indykev Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Right now its $70 Million a year for current schools. Washington and Oregon will get $35 million a year to join with that increasing yearly. It will grow to $100 million per school before long. Yes its about the money. Its not cheap to run college athletic Departments. When most sports run in the RED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Eventually, it won't even feel like we're playing conference games anymore. We'll just be playing games. I guess it's not the end of the world, but beating Purdue and Michigan twice is a hell of lot more rewarding than beating USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon once each would be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama4IU Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 On 8/4/2023 at 4:48 PM, Steubenhoosier said: I envision that when APRs start to plummet due to athletes being out of the classroom due to excessive travel time that the sham that is being positioned as the “student athlete “ will no longer exist. I can see multiple teams becoming ineligible for tournament play due to not meeting the grade requirements. That will end when it happens the first time and players will become employees who have the option of going to class or not. The only logical solution to this concern is to expedite the addition of UNC to the B1G. We can then tap into their extensive knowledge base and expertise in making the problems all go away. 🤓 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Oregon st and Wash St. Stanford and Cal may go independent. Suppose they could try to get a streaming deal with Apple or Amazon but holy cow they are going from 30 million a year tv deals to probably 5 million. Imagine they try to go crawling to B1G 12 too at a limited share. Gotta be a better addition than Cincinnati lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the minute these schools have to do a revenue share is the minute this all comes crashing down. Get your facility upgrades in before revenue sharing starts because you won't have that much opportunity after the fact. The vast majority of schools lose money in athletics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUProfessor Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Interesting piece on how expansion will affect hoops scheduling. The consensus seems to be the conference will have to expand the league schedule to 22-24 games, perhaps extending into November, with most schools then easing up on the non-conference schedule accordingly. Each team likely to make a two-game trip to Washington/Oregon or UCLA/USC annually. https://theathletic.com/4754176/2023/08/07/big-ten-basketball-expansion-coaches/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all but a handful of schools it is almost all risk. They can do revenue share but if they do, then the days of "I have to have a multimillion dollar locker room, weight room, and separate practice facility that gets upgraded every 7 to 10 years" are over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they could rein in the school presidents and the conference commisioners without losing everything...Between those people and individual states wanting to make their own rules, I don't think yuou can point to the NCAA with a straight face and say they are the main reason it's such a mess...
