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.
