There are literally no articles that I’ve seen from any of those sources specifically about this, especially if we are talking about Wanny’s comments today.
Again, I’m seriously not trying to be obtuse here, what is the “this” we are talking about?
IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

ISU and KU will be giving that much each and more. Its called reduced payout for new members. NU has just started to get a full share in the B1G and Rutgers and Maryland are still getting a reduced share.
All the schools moving will get a reduced share than the rest of the schools in the conference, this makes adding schools like ISU actually more beneficial because even though they may not equal quite the revenue as a B1G average, they dont have to, at least not for probably a Decade.
all those years will equal way more than the figures you quote.
No problem I may not be clear. Trying to do different things at one time. Life of a parent of teenagers.
This development today is pretty funny. I don’t know how well he knows what he is talking about.
So I’m not concerned about reaction to this.
So what I meant to ask originally was whether or not you took any of these types of articles seriously going back to when the whole thing with Texas and Oklahoma started? I mean any of the breaking news from “sources”
I find that unlikely to require a buy in. Especially if said school is taking a reduced share for a time period.
I think the B1G required a buy in of each of Nebraska Maryland and Rutgers that was substantial. Think it might have been styled as an equity payment to own a share of BTN but it was large and it went to the existing universities.
There wouldn't be anything more attractive right now.
That said, how well have the three recent additions to the Big Ten done in football subsequent to joining the Big Ten? The answer...they all have pretty much not done very well for the past 4-5 years.
The current situation stinks for many reasons, but one of them was that the Big 12, as rickety as it was, actually afforded good opportunity for teams to ascend to the top. BU, KSU, ISU, OSU, TCU, and WVU have all had a stretch of doing well over the last decade. I'm not sure that this opportunity exists to the same extent in the Big Ten.
NU was gonna steamroll the Big Ten West...
I would hope so, the BOR knows how costly it would be for the state for one of their schools to be demoted.
No, I didn’t take the initial news seriously. But it was basically confirmed immediately by every major CFB journalist.
There is still nothing on this. Wannstadt was far from the only person in the meetings. I assume every one of those same journalists is trying to confirm this and the fact that it’s been this long with the only mention anybody can find in it is the KC Star saying it’s probably not true.
Again, news this big doesn’t stay locked up this long, and it definitely doesn’t stay locked up once somebody spills the beans.
Doesn’t mean this is impossible - we don’t even know the context. Was it just some guy spitballing scenarios at the meeting? Was it a serious discussion with network bigwigs? The fact that literally nothing has come up about this since tells me there was literally nothing serious about any discussion he was a part of.
Just goes to show how much you don’t understand about Grant of Rights. If there was simply an exit fee, I would agree with you 100%, but there is no way that ESPN or SEC is going to pay for OU/UT until they have their television rights. They cannot legally get them until 2025 unless there is a buyout which will be costly.
The buy in was the reduced shares. Rutgers and Maryland borrowed 10's of millions to pay their buy outs from the conferences they were in, that is why neither school is getting a full share after being in the league for a decade. Nebraska borrowed no money from the league and that is why they are getting a full share after 8 years of reduced money.
Pretty sure they had to buy BTN equity as well although Google is not cooperating. Essentially an entry fee.
Rutgers still owes the BIG $120 Million.
$120 Million. Still.
They borrowed against their future share for the huge amount of debt they had coming into the conference and the requirements the BIG put on them for upgrading facilities.
Media talks about how ISU doesnt add to the pie...When you consider if there are only 4 Power conferences and not 5 that grows the per school payout for the new CFP by about $7-$8 mil a year per school
Adding ISU/KU and the BIG media deal would payout around $57 Million per school instead of $60 Million per school (because ISU/KU would take half a share for first 7-10 years).
When you consider that $3 Mil deficit then add a $8mil benefit (CFP) I"m having a hard time understanding the media narratives of this being a bad thing financially for the BIG.
Why do you hate Iowa State and Santa Claus?
I agree. This isn't the 1980s where Hayden Fry was using the governor and BoR to destroy the rival by destroying the institution itself.
No chance this happens. The angry 8 will settle, no one can afford to be in limbo for that long.
Why wouldn't they have had the Big 10 network in New York with or without Rutgers? Or in D.C. with or without Maryland. I mean, they had the Big 10 network in Texas since it's beginning. Just curious.
