How mad is the B1G?

Travel just got a whole lot more expensive for a team making no money

They thought they'd got a deal by halving our cut. What they did is cut the resources needed for what could've been another top team. Instead, the talent goes to where the money is...the SEC.

ESPN behind all of this.

Well, we probably could have afforded to keep DeBoer if the BIG was even giving us something like 65% shares rather than 50% shares. The BIG has nobody to blame for this but themselves. The BIG played that stupid footsies game with Oregon and Washington for more than a year with the deliberate purpose of wrecking the PAC 12-2 media deal and leaving us with no leverage to get better than 50% shares.

According to reports, we offered De Boer $9 million before possible bonuses. $10 million is the new coaching standard nowadays. If we could have afforded to give him just $1 million more, we probably would have kept him.

That's such bs. If you can afford $9 mil, you can afford $10. That should be couch cushion change.

It sucks but UW is going to be fine. WISCONSIN runs a division in that league.

Well, maybe Alabama is setting some new coaching standard by paying him $12 million or $13 million. I don't know. All I know is that 1. Ross Delenger reported that we were offering De Boer $9 million 2. Currently, no college football coach makes more than $10 million 3. Apparently De Boer didn't think our offer to him was high enough.

For in case you're not aware, once you subtract the extra $10 million in travel costs, we're going to make exactly the same money in our first 6 years in the Big Ten that we would have made with that crappy $20 million Amazon deal that Kliavkoff ultimately offered. We don't have some infinite money like other BIG schools do.

I don't think it was all about the money.

I’m almost positive UW fans spent close to $100M to go to Vegas, NOLA, and Houston games.

If it's about the money, surely they aren't too stupid to realize that a half-full stadium is bad.

RaceBannon

Its always about money

Always

Yeah, it was about the money -- money for players and staff.

Iowa won that division last year, and Wisconsin last won the division in 2019. Wisconsin didn't dominate the division. The only constants with that division were 1. Nobody dominated the division, and it was unpredictable who would win the division every year 2. Nebraska would finish at or near the bottom of the division, despite being the division's "blue blood" program 3. The division winner would be at best about the 25th best team in the country, and would be lucky to lose by 21 points to the East Division champion.

The Big Ten is getting rid of divisions next year, for in case you're not aware.

PineapplePirate

B1G doesn’t give a shit. UW was an afterthought.

TheHB

You know you're in a shitty situation when the cuog on KJR are pissed off that DeBoer left.

And for a guy who went 25-3, he's leaving the cupboard fucking bare.

UW in the B1G will look like WSU in the Pac-12 -- for years, I'm afraid.
