OREGON to the B1G

Here's the whole thing about unequal revenue sharing: if you don't have the doormat teams to beat up on every season, you don't get those gaudy 11-12 win seasons.

You can cry all you want about how valuable your brand is, but without the lesser teams, you still got nothing. You need those teams or you don't get the wins, the prestige, or the money.

In fairness, they’re only half as good as the others.

Michigan figured out how to play just the doormat teams without growing the B1G. :dhd:
 
B1G hoping if they only pay half shares Oregon might tone down the gaudy uniforms.

My guess would be no because they are going to want USC/UW/UCLA/Oregon to play Michigan, OSU, PSU as many times as possible. 2, 9 team divisions would restrict that. Unless they go to 11 conference games or something like that.

Divisions are done. The B1G will assign everyone like 3 perms and rotate the rest with the best two teams in the conference championship. It won't really be pods but it will work very similarly.

yeah so like i said Oregon would play UW, USC, UCLA every year then some combo of the other 14 for 6 games.

I'm guessing it's because they already had the deal in place. But whatever, they'll have to go a little farther on trips, but they'd be traveling anyway, that's not going to be any significant extra cost.

The little farther on trips is what is going to cost them. The further you fly the more expensive it is. When you are traveling with 1,000's and 1000's of lbs of equipment to go along with the team -- that is going to be very expensive.

They were in first, most are bigger tv markets than Oregon, Washington might have a legitimate gripe but if you want in you have to accept what that entails.

USC & UCLA were pissed when the PAC forced them into equal revenue sharing with Oregon, Washington, and everyone else. B1G is going to keep USC & UCLA happy because they are the big tv market, have the Rose Bowl, and are in a talent rich area. Partial share for Oregon and Washington makes sense for now.

I get it -- the B1G knew they held all the cards. Oregon and Washington was going to take whatever was offered.

If you line up the Pac 12 additions from top to bottom across from the big 10 west’s top 4, the Pac additions are easily better.

Even for a troll post that comment was incredibly stupid.

Not really, assuming they play at least oregon every year for the rivalry. Or, depending on how they work out divisions, they might play all the west coast teams. Out of conference they’ll probably try to salvage the apple cup, that keeps the one in state game. So they have to go cross country maybe a few times more than they would anyway? How much more you think it costs going from Seattle to the Midwest than it does to go to Arizona or Utah? And then factor in Alaska airlines, who provides their air travel, is a major partner and sponsor.

so maybe some extra expense for gas for the gear they ship? You think paying a little more for that is going to cancel out the financial benefit?

That’s extremely silly.

That combo's gonna be the biggies too. Games the Big 10 and media rights networks expect will bring eyeballs to tv sets.

Nebraska's first 2 years in the Big 10 (2011/2012) they played Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St., and Michigan St.

3rd year in they played, Michigan, Penn St, and Michigan St.

That was all about tv revenue.
