B1G Exploring Private Capital Investment

Private CRAPITAL

You're talking about two different things.

The 190-155-110 tiers are the one-time payments from the $2.4 billion dollar equity infusion.

The 5.5%, 5%, 4.9% are for all future payments from league revenues (ie TV contract).

So not only does this deal give more money to the top 3-5 teams in this one-time equity payment, it enshrines that they will continue to get bigger payments for the next 20 years. NU will get screwed now and later! The Big Ten has always divided up league revenues equally. This deal seeks to change that and give a permanent advantage to certain schools, with Nebraska among the schools on the very bottom rung.

The more I learn about this deal, the more I wonder why anyone outside of the top teir would agree to it.

it shouldn't surprise us, the big ten has treated us as the pig for slaughter. Big following to prop up tOSU with a W & make the OG members feel good by beating us when the refs refuse to call holding for 6 straight years.

We got put in the expendable tier & i bet if there is a super league, our best chance would be the SEC wanting us, not the big ten.

All NU can do is go all in to be a consistent top 20 program. Whatever happens down the road just get good and it’ll be what it is.

This seems like a very shortsighted deal. If Nebraska doesn’t need the cash it should be against this.

Not sure I love getting locked into the GoR for that long or giving up that much revenue down the road for upfront cash we likely don’t need.

Hope so

Fuck the B1G

Lamest conference going since the dawn of college football

Could be an exercise in futility if everyone else is on board. Seems like it is just golden handcuffs for a couple of programs to the conference. Shrug

What’s the alternative to locking up the GoR? It’s not like we would be in the drivers seat if super league talks start up.

My thought, whether it be right or wrong, would be that the ACC likely thought there wasn’t any downside to locking in their GoR for that long either. And now they’re totally fucked

The GoR and the TV deal are different things.

 

[Scott Hall]

My buddy said that Dean says it’s dead on his podcast, which means the deal is done.

Disregard then. I’d always heard people speak about both hand in hand which led me to the conclusion you can’t talk about one without the other.

However, that’s a very long time to be in a contractual agreement with another entity.
