Literally what they said, I'm sorry if the words they used were too big for you to understand.
Why do you think they referenced power and profitability?

It doesnt fit his agenda, just forget about it.
Did OU and Texas not get shares of the SEC media rev?
8 of the top 10 and 12 of the top 20 being Big 10 schools is crazy. It goes to show how top heavy the Big 10 is.
You don't know what the word "literally" really means: "The adverb literally means exactly what is stated, word-for-word, without exaggeration."
Here are the two CBC statements. The Dec 2025 statement does literally address the right to unionize which Cruz-Cantwell has left the door open to and SCORE didn't. It also literally addresses excessive coaching salaries but not literally capping athlete earnings. Cruz-Cantwell does address RevShare cap adjustments in alignment with the House Settlement (which athletes concurred to) and future revenue changes while obviously not capping CSC approved NIL earnings.
And obviously the May 2026 CBC statement is totally unrelated to athlete earnings.

So, is this essentially trying to show how dependent certain schools are to their conference distribution? The higher percentage, the more dependent you are on Conference revenue distribution? To play it out, you put Maryland in a conference that doesn’t have as high a revenue stream, the percentage would be higher and they would basically be a welfare program.
Oof, only ahead of Wake and Syracuse in M2.
Bad look for JP and Iowa St- most of revenue growth at Iowa St in last 20 years has been reflective of systemic growth of college athletics, not actual growth imo
You can't possibly be this dense, right?You don't know what the word "literally" really means: "The adverb literally means exactly what is stated, word-for-word, without exaggeration."

Just say out loud that you like the taste of those boots.
It's a worse look for Iowa and most of the Big 10.
It shows how heavily propped up by their benefactors they are. I'm surprised to see Penn State so high too.
EDIT: I should note that us and Iowa are far more forced to rely exclusively on these things by our legislative set up. It's not that bad of a look for Iowa (or any worse a look for them than us).

Yep if you don’t give your fans something to cheer for in football then you’re gonna get hurt on the financial side. Also can effect donations but not sure if those were included. Penn state really isn’t that high when you realize how much money comes from the media deals
I might be missing something, but doesn’t it show we are only dependent on revenue distribution for 35% of our budget? That seems acceptable given the circumstances.
Tell me about it. I did get a D+ in STATS 226 but I reviewed it the graphic several times and couldn’t figure out how it was bad lol
It would be lower if they were in a M2 conference. If Maryland's total revenue is $100M (making up numbers) as of now $63M would come from the Big 10 media distributions. Now if they were in the ACC and got $35M their percent of income from media would be 49%.
I think the implication of this is data is a proxy for program donor support in relation to their conference peers plus some uneven revenue distribution like Oregon and Washington.
So, for the Big 12 its shows what we've already known, we have a cheap fanbase and that BYU, UCF, and Cinci aren't receiving full shares. For the Big 10 it shows that Maryland, NU, Rutgers, ect. don't have near the support as Ohio state and Michigan which was obvious.
LOL, you're being quite the Purple Hawk again when it comes to pro-relegation of ISU athletics.
We don't get subsidies like other conference schools. These subsidies are tied into revenue. Kansas, Kansas State, ISU, and Ok St are the least subsidized schools. UCF, Cincy, Arizona State, and Houston get subsidized by their university general fund. Being city schools, they have massive enrollments so can afford to do so. Arizona and Colorado get subsidized a lot too. Arizona has over 53,000 students, Colorado over 38,000 students.
I edited my post, but this one really shocked me.
Iowa and ISU don't get any kind of state or university support for athletics. They're required to be entirely self sufficient, so it makes sense that we'd both be heavily reliant on conference TV money.
I'm starting to wonder if FinalFour and BadBoi are Hawk socks. Their posts are heavily anti-ISU/Big 12 to the point of looking suspicious, IMO.
Maybe they're just the opposite of cykadelic's pollyannic nonsense too. Sometimes people over correct.
Iowa State is in a stable league with no threat of poaching while running at a historic high in football and a Top 10-15ish basketball program.
GTFO with this 'relegation' ********. Iowa State HAS value. Why do you think so little of Iowa State that you want to compare it to Wazzu and Oregon State who have NO value?
