“…jaw-dropping news from last week: The report that Big Ten will send $51.1 million to each campus starting in 2018.”
“That figure came from a respect (sic) journalist (Angelique Chengelis) working for a respected publication (Detroit News) having obtained documents from Michigan itself, in the form of a FY18 budget presented to the university’s regents.”
“Will seeing the whopping numbers … the Big Ten handing out $51.1 million to its campuses … the $19 million/per year/per school disparity in distribution … prompt the Pac-12 chancellors/presidents to insist on an equity sale?”
YES…If PAC expands, they will go to 16…and likely they will take Houston and best 3 Big 12 schools they think fit their needs after OU and Texas go elsewhere first…which they WILL do…
The PAC 12 doesnt want to face a long term scenario where their rival conferences make close to 20 million more a year than they do…
