On another issue, read/heard that USC/Xichigan were both considering leaving the B10 due to this $2.2B equity thing. Might not be a bad thing that USC goes independent, might get their own network deal (being in the SoCal market). Don't recollect why USC asked to join B10 (UCLA is/was broke in athletic department), so the big money was an issue? B10 money was about +$40-50M more than P12, but never have heard USC was hurting for much of anything. Anyone else got a read on this?

I mean $50 million is $50 million. Why not. They just want to get what they think they’re worth.

This is a far bigger fish than the TV money: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ten_Academic_Alliance

BTAA is worth BILLIONS. USC leaving it won't hurt much but TCUN walking away from that kind of money is hilariously short-sighted by them.

The alliance doesn’t necessarily bring additional money into each school, it’s more doing collaborative research but keeping their money separate. It could bring more research dollars by noting the collaborating schools to juice their application when pursuing research grants.
