OREGON to the B1G

Add Cal, Stanford and Notre Dame. 21 teams, 3 pods of 7. ND can play an academy and whatever random 2 teams for OOC. Gets to play their rivals, plus the regular B1G regional team. Also would not add additional travel expenses for the their West Coast rivals since they already pay them.

i mean I used to say that and far worse on the other hoop. He once threatened to fly down here and run me over with a rental car. We were convinced he was a closet duck fan as he hated other UW fans more than ducks and kept defending Oregon in weird ways.

They were reporting it on the radio here. They are saying they will get 50% of the full cut in year 1 and have a $1 million dollar escalators each year after. They said B1G teams will get between 60-65 million a year. So they are reporting $30 million with a max of 32.5 million.

Granted these aren't some CFB insiders, this is just the sports talk radio show.

I'd bet they don't get the same deal as Nebraska with the big escalators, because the B1G doesn't need to do that. The B1G holds all the cards and Washington and Oregon are just thankful for the invite. They can't demand anything. The B1G really wanted Nebraska, so I can see giving them bigger escalators and a faster path to full distribution rights.

Do you happen to know what the Big 10 (per team) full revenue distributions were for 2011 or 2012?

I'm wondering if Nebraska got less than 50% hence the 9% per year increases.
I've searched for it but can't find anything.

Also since the Big 10 per year full distributions are expected to increase every year through this contract, I don't see Oregon/Washington being stuck at $1 million increases.

Going to have to do some research on the Washington-Oregon rivalry to make the game more interesting. Next year.

It will be interesting how the lame ducks are treated on the road during conference games this year.

B1G was always doing the expansion, with or without ND, but it is becoming more clear than ever, ND better pick a conference quick, as these super conferences will have all their rivals in them and those teams won't need the prime time OOC games, as they will have a schedule full of them in conference.

I don't know that ND needs to pick a conference quick. They'll always be a sought after jewel.

As I've said a few times, ND should do a 4 or 5 game deal with the Big 10 similar to what they have with the 5 games to the ACC. Contingent that they join the Big 10 full time when the ACC's GOR expires.
Both parties and the networks would benefit economically and ND would be guaranteeing themselves a seat at the table.
ND would be able to keep it's annual rivalries with Navy, Stanford , USC.

I don't. I know the exact amount for every school or even if we had even shares back then. But I found that Minnesota received 25.5 million in TV revenue in 2012. So Nebraska was likely a little over 50%. The monster jump to $51 million for Nebraska was the year the new TV deal kicked in I think.

Not to take anything away from Oregon or Washington -- they are great schools, but they aren't national brands or a blue blood like Nebraska. They also have absolutely zero leverage in the negotiations. They can't demand anything, as the TV deal was negotiated without them and they aren't in huge markets. So while the $1 million escalator sounds like they are getting screwed -- I could totally see that being what they agreed to, as they had no choice but to take what was offered.

ND would get full share in the Big 10 tomorrow. No questions asked.

Without a doubt. ND can call any time they want and they'd have an invite and full revenue share. You can't have a more perfect team to join the B1G with the built in rivalries, location, national brand, blue blood, etc.

I could be dead wrong. I think alot of these big OOC games are going to dry up as the years go on because of these super conferences. So while ND will have their rivalry games with Navy, Stanford, USC -- I think they will find it tougher to fill those games with big time OOC opponents, as their options will already be played 3, 4, 5, 6 big time matchups in these super conferences.

That is just my opinion though. I know as a Michigan fan, I don't want to face Ohio State, USC, Penn State, Oregon, etc. in a year and then have ND in my OOC schedule. That is BRUTAL.

Bring them on. I would prefer that to playing no doubters G5 teams. If you are good enough to beat them, great. If not, so be it.

The $25.5 million sounds about right.

Nebraska was only making $9 million/year from the Big 12 when they left.

Nebraska didn't even get BTN money until they got full distributions in 2017 and the new Big 10 contract kicked in. The reason is they weren't a Big 10 member when BTN was launched. I'm sure same applies to Oregon/Washington.

No worse than usual. They get similar treatment to USC.
