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.

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.

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.
