LOL, that is quite the take. Stripping conference HQs of their ability to negotiate media rights deals and scheduling is exactly what needs to be done in order to quit leaving billions of dollars on the table and to get control of CFB away from ESPN and Fox.
Can you show were it says the % allocated amount is coming directly from the school and how that percentage is reached. Totally not calling you out just don’t see anywhere where it discusses what those charts on the table meanHere is latest list of what schools are spending on their athletic programs, it does not break it down on why they are doing it, but gives very good insight into how much money some schools are taking from their general fund to support athletics. The last column shows the percentage of the total the school is kicking in, at ISU its 1.66%.

You didn’t say puppets so he didn’t catch that, it’s like his Manchurian candidate activation code
The way it reads the percentage on the right is what the school is supplying the athletic department, as a percentage of their total athletic budget, These are 2024 numbers, the latest that are available. Looks like if you zeroed out all school support for athletes from the general fund of each university, ISU would come in around 30th or so. Many of the schools listed above us are receiving quite a bit more from the university than ISU does, less than $2 million in student fees.
Yeah but can you show where it says that? Not doubting you just want to read it because when you click on that column fort he numbers they each have individual notes on them that are saying radically different things
They won’t have much to do right now without handling the revenue mechanisms and scheduling.
Pooling of rights didn’t threaten the Big 8 or Big 10 conference headquarters before.
Can't help you, the numbers are not broken down anymore than a total of what the university is providing its athletic program. If you want any more information you are going to have to take a deep dive into the what each school is not only providing but what the funds were used for. So for a coach that was bought out of a contract, it does not say where that money comes from. If you click on to a school, you can see where they are spending money for each program and where they are getting their money from ticket sales, media ect.
The BOR and the legislature are never going to treat the three state universities the same. They still provide EIU with more money per student than the other two. The is no doubt in my mind that if ISU was not in the picture, the state would be kicking in more money to EIU for athletics, the only thing stopping them is that people that support ISU would raise hell. UNI gets lost in shuffle, of the battle between support between ISU and EIU.
Completely different era that far back. TV (money) didn’t drive things.
You are wrong. Big time. TV money most certainly did drive it then, especially when cable began in late 1970s.
Stop it, GREED is what got us here, nothing more. The B10 started it with BTN, and since then the entire system has gotten out of control. Once the B10 and SEC started poaching schools to enhance their media deal everything began to fall apart. Can you or anyone else say the B10 is really better off now than what it was before? Money wise without a doubt, but travel, the conference standing and scheduling, what is good for the athletes, not talking NIL but the schedule they now have is much worse.
I would argue that allowing conferences to do their own TV rights has created the worst instability of any sports organization. Once the Big 8 got that right, then Oklahoma and Nebraska started using their leverage and creating instability. Within 10 years, conferences started to blow up.
I’d say those three schools are exactly the same as they were before.
you must have misquoted, my post wasn’t about what got us here
