    I thought the Big 10 should have brought in Cal and Stanford while they aren’t powers in Football they are both powers in other sports and the Bay Area is a very lucrative TV market. Academically Cal and Stanford are superior to all other Big 10 Universities. If Fox is willing to pay for Rutgers and Maryland why not Cal and Stanford? Much richer alumni base.

    Athletic dollars are chump change in comparison to academic research dollars. The Big Ten should have taken Stanford and Cal for non-athletic reasons. Universities tend to establish academic/research institutional relationships based on conference membership. The Big Ten screwed up here.

    • @jimedick9496
      @jimedick9496 2 місяці тому

      The educational endowments are NOT shared!!!! The B1G wouldn’t see a dime of Stanfords or Cal’s endowments. They share the research information, not the money.
      The ONLY revenue shared between conference members is sports revenue from the media rights contract. That’s it. Right now, that pays out $60 million plus per B1G member from Fox, NBC, and CBS. So unless a team can bring in the required tv audience, there’s NO invite. Both Cal and Stanford rank in the mid 40’s when it comes to the most watched college football teams. They don’t garnish enough eyeballs for the media giants to pay out extra.
      Great institutions, great sports programs, horrible fan base. Not enough fans follow these two teams on tv.

      You are correct, but they don’t bring in the tv audience that earns them a share that pays out $60-$70 million per team annually.
      This boils down to who can bring in the most eyeballs? Oregon ranks anywhere from 10-15 most watched team in the nation. Washington is anywhere from 15-25 nationally ranked most viewed team. Stanford is typically in the 40’s. They do have some good years, but generally, they are in the middle. So unless Notre Dame demands Stanford to join the B1G to go along with their B1G acceptance, Stanford is low on their list.
      That’s the reality. Fox isn’t paying for sports that doesn’t make them revenue from advertisements. That’s what this is about. Selling advertisements.

      Let's have a look see what Wikipedia says about CALford.....
      😊
      According to PitchBook, from 2006 to 2017, Stanford produced 1,127 company founders as alumni or current students, more than any other university in the world; and these founders created 957 companies, second only to UC Berkeley in the world.[9][10] In addition, according to a Stanford alumni survey conducted in 2011, some 39,900 companies founded by Stanford alumni were active, and companies founded by Stanford alumni altogether generated more than $2.7 trillion in annual revenue and had created 5.4 million jobs, roughly equivalent to the 10th-largest economy in the world (2011).
      ECONOMIC footprint the size of FRANCE!
      The Cardinal has won 163 national team championships overall.
      Please tell us you're not one of the low grade morons who believe Notre Dame only begged for the Legends series in 1988 because they just wanted a roadtrip to California every season?
      PAC never had an acedemic alliance on par with the B1G 10AA.

    As a Pac refugee and now a Big Ten alumnus, I can speak on this since I watch the whole thing go down.
    First, Wilner might have been the first national reporter to be on it, but it was the day of the announcement, so not really impressive.
    Truth is Greg Flugaur and @mhver3 told those of us that were paying attention in April. I can give links if needed.
    2nd, Wilner and Canzano had literally the worst information after that news was announced. They were more wrong than anyone because they were being used by their sources in the Bay Area (Cal and Stanford sources) and the Pacific Northwest (Chair of the Pac presidents group, Schultz, among others) to spread misinformation to help advance the negotiations.
    Canzano (Wilner's podcast partner) even admitted this himself recently.

    The B1G is in a tough spot on this question. The west coast is a declining market for college football, as evidenced by USC et. al. having to leave the PAC. On the other hand, to address demo concerns, the B1G needs to effectively and heavily expand south. If 24 is the assumed limit, the B1G has already gone to heavy west.
    If 24 is the limit, CAL/STANFORD are inevitable, and #24 will be reserved for ND, that's three slots left. Not enough for that heavy enough expansion south, but the best likely available that are in brand enough would be GATECH, FSU & MIAMI.
