We pretty much knew that stuff and it's obvious why the university presidents were against it.
These TV contracts are fluid. There is a base rate, but More eyeballs = Bigger media payouts to conferences and more money paid out to each school. Hence forward looking annual payouts are simply a 'projection'.
i.e. Adding teams would not necessitate a renegotiation of the B1Gs TV contract.
Oregon by itself would seemingly add eyeballs ($$) to the payout pool. However, 12 of the Big 10s teams get more eyeballs than Utah and Washington.
15 of the Big 10s teams get more eyeballs than Cal and Stanford.
Therefore, Utah, Washington, Cal, and Stanford would make for smaller pieces of the pie to current B1G teams. The viewership of those 4 might go up if playing the likes of Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn St, but I'd think break even or de minimus.
As is typically the case. Notre Dame is the crown jewel of teams not already in the SEC or Big 10.
