I'm calling it now
Washington will be out of the Big 10 by 2031. There will be some revamped Pacific Coast Conference of which the Huskies will become a part. This will be due to finances and the logistics of having conference foes on the east coast and Midwest.

Olympic sports should be. Football won't be. The next media contract is gonna be like $90,000,000 a year per program.

If they take $100m from this private equity deal, they are owned forever.

I think they'll still be in the Big Ten, but more teams might be in the mix and allow for a West Coast Division of the conference, thus allowing a bit of an old Pac8 flair to things.
I really think they need to pursue this, or interest in the West Coast teams from their own fanbases is going to really crater over time.
It's already done immense damage to my own interest, as someone who's been attending games since the early 80's.

Private equity ruins everything.

I'm calling it now…will be owned by Saudi Arabia. Trying to sell every thing for the highest price you can get ends with being owned by the Saudis. Congrats.
In all seriousness, I think the opposite now. I think UW will hope to be in a trimmed Big 10 with the blue bloods or a combined NFL style league with the SEC.
They're not making any money off of Rutgers vs. UW or Maryland vs. Purdue etc, so they're gonna have to chase stronger games.

I can't think of one instance in which a PE rollup made anything better

It’ll start out by giving 1/19th equity to the investor. The schools will all spend their equity money way too fast and then will need to take a loan from the investor to maintain their spending. Then will need to get another loan. Then those loans get converted to even more equity for the investor and eventually they can just out vote everyone.

Do we really need these high priced players? We could outsource to India and save a bundle. Or AI players in a virtual reality game
Let's get creative people
