So 160 million over 5 years, then the full money on the new deal.
Pac-12 was roughly 100 over 5 correct? With some impossible thresholds on kickers for subscribers?

$60M difference
+big lift in tickets
+big lift in sponsorships
+lift in F&B, merch and other revenues.

Huge difference short and long term.

The money is pretty much equal except in year six UW gets a full B1G share while Colorado will still be in the B12. HTH

Colorado once they're 1-3 will be on ESPN+.

When our stadium is at or near capacity for a lot games it's a big difference. That would never happen in the pac12 or big12

It boosts everything. For sure.

Assuredly part of the negotiation.

This. Husky Stadium deserves good opponents. This is one fanbase that will go apeshit for real national competition and take delight in punishing opponents.

Cal, ASU, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Oregon St., Stanford...

I can't honestly give a good reason for why somebody should pay money to watch those games at 7pm in Husky Stadium.

But Ohio St., Michigan, Penn St., Michigan St., Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon, USC...

I think the true number is closer to $40. That would explain the early morning drama, and the big ten calling back in the 11th hour. I think $5-$10m in traveling expenses were added to the pot.
