So we now know for 2018 the #B1G schools each got $54 million and the #Pac12 schools each got $31.3 million. That means #Rutgers, #Maryland and #Iowa received $22.7 million more than #USC, #UCLA and #Washington. And that number will only grow over next 4/5 years. https://t.co/zIkB4iAZZP

USC has 11 national championships, Iowa has one. USC has 7 Heisman winners Iowa has one. Zillions more draft picks and All-Americans. USC also in the 2nd largest TV market, but the Hawkeyes will get $23 million more in TV money PER YEAR. That's why.

This issue is say Purdue has a coach USC wants (Jeff Brohm). With an extra $23 million per year, Purdue can do a lot to try to keep him home. USC may not be able to compete with that kind of extra cash. It'll be worse for assistants.

Heck USC and UCLA could go and make a lot more in the Big12.

This is going to change conference alignment. The difference is too large for

I don't think USC will wait for 2023.

That would be interesting

TNT

They may want to be careful.

They don't want to be independent. They just don't want AU, ASU, Utah, and OSU.

There isn't more money on the west coast by cutting markets.

displacedute

5/20/19 10:25pm

IMO, ESPN would pay the same amount they are right now for only 8 teams.

Lance71

You might be right, but history completely disagrees.

What history?

Nothing in there about contracts when conferences contract.

Are they getting bigger or smaller?

ESPN and FOX don't pay the PAC $375M/year for OSU and Wazzu inventory

Good luck getting the state schools split up.

displacedute

5/21/19 10:42am

They should move to a tiered revenue share. Programs take home what they earn

5/20/19 10:33pm

They just moved away from that, and the voting is never going to be in favor

displacedute

5/20/19 10:35pm

Right. And that’s why USC won’t take it for much longer. Being pushed around by insignificant commuter schools and

5/20/19 10:56pm

They don't really have other options.

displacedute

5/20/19 11:16pm

The Big12 has tiered revenue sharing and better football and basketball. It could be an attractive option because they

5/20/19 11:25pm

The big 12 allows schools to own their 3rd tier rights.

displacedute

5/20/19 11:28pm

I'd also argue the 'better football' part.

displacedute

5/21/19 12:18am

Remove USC and add them to the B12.

boscatar

5/21/19 10:18am

Remove OU and Texas from the Big 12 and then how good is the football?

displacedute

5/21/19 10:45am

That’s not the discussion though. We’re talking about usc moving to the Big12. It would be great for them from a

5/21/19 12:03pm

Norte Dame could make A LOT more than they do.

KSwiss

5/20/19 11:08pm

This gets repeated constantly and it's nonsense.

displacedute

5/20/19 11:17pm

So their potential game day ad revenue is zero and that’s why they don’t do it?

KSwiss

5/20/19 11:20pm

They make what they're worth. They extended their NBC contract because

displacedute

5/20/19 11:31pm

Anyone who wants what they’re worth puts themselves on the open market

KSwiss

5/20/19 11:49pm

Is that what you guys did?

displacedute

5/20/19 11:57pm

Lol. Thanks for circling back and making my point for me

KSwiss

5/21/19 12:10am

I'm not talking about making every dime, and I never said that.

displacedute

5/21/19 12:19am

Smh... “If ND could make more money they would”

KSwiss

5/21/19 12:21am

Okay man. Those aren't the same and any reasonable person could see that.

displacedute

And Utah won't go to the PAC 10 without BYU. It is every man for himself on

There is none.

Simple, they are lagging.

SEC takes from Big 12 and ACC; B1G takes from PAC and ACC

Yep.

Yes! Sewing seeds of discontent 😉

5/20/19 8:36pm

It all boils down to fan support. Those other conferences make more simply

For SC it boils down to the other schools not pulling their weight.

I’m curious how cord-cutting will affect this.

5/20/19 9:56pm

Since $$ are king, the Indy is better for BYU. $$ in next TV deal will be more.

Imagine if Notre Dame, USC, Stanford, simply sold their TV rights as a package

How can BYU leverage this?
