Cracks in the B1G?

That is great news, are their season tickets free? Do they give merch away? Take nothing for media rights? Very generous of them.
Michigans admin is smart enough to know supply and demand. Their football product is in high demand, they will milk it for what it’s worth. It’s the American way my brother
Lol, UCF averaged 43k in 2024. That's more than Maryland but not Rutgers or Illinois, nor the rest of the B1G if I had to guess. And it's 97% capacity because they play in a tiny stadium.
It’s not, but good try! Also just a truly impressive strawman for the first paragraph. It’s legit impressive to be so off topic, gotta commend ya for that one
Also Maryland and Rutgers have been bad for a very long time now. What was Kansas’s attendance when it was a laughingstock?
So how many tickets did Nebraska have to give away four years ago to keep their “sellout string“ alive. Wasn’t it 5,000?
I would state it differently. They were predators because they had the PSU, OSU and UM brands. That brought the TV interest and money to do the predator-ing.
If “they’re a non-profit entity that doesn’t need money” - is it that wild of a question? Man it will be fun to see the meltdown when the blue bloods either break off or get unequal revenue sharing
My man I have no idea and legit couldn’t care less about Nebraska. They are the team I would kick out if I could, just a total outlier.
Also this happens whenever any team goes on a downward slump. Michigan gave away tickets when you bought a Pepsi in the rich rod/Hoke eras. It happens all the time.
When you use quotes you’re supposed to be actually quoting something someone said not your own weird interpretation.
My point again to spell it out is that Michigan has zero need of unequal revenue sharing as they already have so much money and can turn on the money cannon at will whenever it’s needed.
I’m taking a 5-year average per this site: https://www.d1ticker.com/2024-fbs-attendance-trends/
And I’m using capacity because that is a better metric to measure fan passion, if you’re filling up your stadium. The article, after all, was talking about gameday atmosphere.
And UCF is currently expanding their stadium as well, with a goal to get to 65K eventually.
But now we’re veering the argument. I’d like for you to just admit I’m right so I can get back to work
Nope, just using it as an example for your attendance argument which again, really doesn’t matter
Lol, I'll get right on that.I’m taking a 5-year average per this site: https://www.d1ticker.com/2024-fbs-attendance-trends/

I usually despise Shadenfreude behavior and thoughts; however, I hope Michigan and OSU get an even bigger slice of the B1G revenue. I am sick of the Hawkeye fans and their snide remarks concerning the Big 12 and the Cyclones.
So this NY times report was accounting too?
- 2023-2024 deficit: MSU's athletic department lost more than $16.7 million, its fourth deficit in the last five years. Total operating revenues were roughly $163.7 million against over $180.4 million in expenses.
It's real hard to do well in the Learfield Cup when your AD is busy harassing, discriminating, getting sued by, and paying out multiple two-comma settlements to several of the women's sports.
They should create a Fulmer Cup for ADs, and call it the Barta Badge (or something cleverer)
Oh no MSU is in far worse shape, that’s a combo of the Tucker issue, getting a new coach, AD, and the house settlement. Far different position then Michigan
I agree with your assertion; however, is anyone really excited to see OSU, Michigan, Bama, Georgia, Texas, and and maybe Oregon, USC, Penn State, and a handful of other potential National Title contenders battle it out every season. I, for one, am not.
