Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

….and the article also states that as long as Fox owns the majority stake (60%) of BTN, they control the B10 media rights including beyond 2032 and have little desire or incentive to double media revenues for conference members.
Can you do me a favor and show where you saw that? I just saw the piece starting BTN loses control in 2032. Not saying you are wrong just looking for the part of that article as it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a date on that own way or another
 
The easy fix is that Big10/SEC have to fund x amount of non revenue sports at x amount. ACC and Big12 have to fund a very limited # of non revenue sports at whatever $ amount they want.

7th paragraph, last sentence.

Nothing changes in 2031-32 (as long as Fox has majority BTN stake) except expiration of CBS and NBC sublicense deals which were primarily negotiated by Fox execs.

Yeah no I see where it says that Fox has the ownership through 2032, what I said and what I thought you said is that Fox maintains that control after 2032 which I don’t see anywhere in the article.

By my understanding of what was posted after 2032 BTN (FOX) doesn't have those anymore
 
It’s wild to me the meeting is being held at the Governor’s mansion. I know it’s a public school but it feels like most schools would not have a presentation about athletics hosted by the governor.
In 2016, the governor threatened to cancel LSU’s football season if the legislature didn’t pass a $900 million tax increase.

Wasn’t the gov making a lot of decisions for the schools AD recently? I agree but it’s LSU in an extremely poor state so not shocking it’s not sustainable and needs some bailout

The governor is the de facto AD at LSU.

Louisiana politics are incredibly weird.
Exactly. At one point in time recently (during vacancies), the governor was head of the football team, head of the athletic department, head of the university, all the while was governor.

Last year LSU had a two percent reduction campus wide that included every department “except” athletic department. They just fired 25 top administrators and employees. They are considering student fees. Auburn charges its students $7 million to support the Athletic Department. LSU will get gambling revenues for its athletic department. Out of all the SEC Blue Bloods, LSU I think is probably in the most precarious position. A lot has to do with increased NIL competition from the Texas teams as well.
