Comments on: Big Ten’s per-member payout this year?

They’ve played in 3 NC games since BCS started. I like the comment aren’t eligible again (when weren’t they eligible before?). OSU has been in top 3 of revenues in B1G for awhile and mostly in the top 2. This year they were 3rd.

Really drummerhoff? How much Bowl money has OSU they contributed to the other conference members in the past few years? Oh, and they aren’t eligible again this year. Wisconsin leads in that stat.

As for revenues, Michigan leads and PSU isn’t far behind.

You Big 10 sophisticates are really impressed by those “dating your sister” redneck jokes, aren’t you? Interesting demonstration of your, a-hem, superior intellects. :roll:

Football conferences, indeed co-operatives of any sort, are voluntary associations. By contrast, the Government takes wealth and “shares” it literally at the point of a gun.
Pray tell, which school honed your critical thinking?

And we’re hoping to ditch their butts and replace them with schools that do. Now, if the people atop the B10 decision-making pile would snap the h*ll out of it and start making offers to schools like FSU… All that regional cr*p is so yesterday…

Please don’t take my comments literally. OSU is the top money-maker in the B1G conference and redistributes its wealth to other less capable schools within the conference so the entire group benefits.

I was having funny with the irony of redistribution of wealth equalling stability in the very best conferences in college football (and the NFL) but the same of idea of sharing wealth anywhere else is an evil socialist plot.

OSU has been a big proponent of equal sharing of revenue. I think you’ll find that the Big Ten overall is pretty egalitarian on many conference issues…..hence the stability of conference members.

Tier 1 & 2 payout
B1G (24.6 – 7.2) = $17.4mil
Big12 = $20mil
SEC = $19.5mil (plus $8mil more after new deal)
Pac12 = $22mil

The redistribution of wealth* in the B1G is not going to play well in the state of Ohio. The Buckeyes should look at joining another conference.

* aka Equal Revenue Sharing.

This figure includes Tier 1, 2, and 3.
