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

Academis!

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.Sandra6 said:Well, we probably could have afforded to keep DeBoer if the BIG was even giving us something like 65% shares rather than 50% shares.

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.
