B1G Expansion and more Conference Realignment

"The America 12 is an awesome choice for a name! - Sincerely, Legends & Leaders"

"America 12 makes no sense! The conference will have ten teams for a couple of years, and then maybe go to twelve. Get your math straight Big East! - Sincerely, The Big 12 and the Big 10

Kansas, K-State, and Missouri AD Financials

Interesting re: Missouri's fiscal mess and Kansas' finances. K-State is inflated due to their momentary suspension of incompetence last year.

So KU was in the National Championship, but still would have been in the RED without coaches' severance. That seems difficult to accomplish.

Over the past five years Revenue minus expenses:

• KU +14.9 mil
  
• KSU + 51.5 mil
  
• MU -8.5 mil.
  

Considering that KU won a National Championship and went to another National Championship during this time, that makes KSU's number more impressive.

What is KSU paying Snyder? $1.95 plus the recycle money from the pop cans from his office?

I don't know but it might be what Osborne got paid for being the AD

This is BEFORE Rutgers and Maryland join....

"The BTN and the conference have been cashing in. According to SNL Kagan, the BTN’s revenue should increase from $243 million in 2011 to $262 million this year, with operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) climbing from $79 million to $85 million over the same period. Estimated value of the network: $1.3 billion. This year each Big Ten school will get a $7.2 million distribution from the BTN."

And that's one of the best things about the B1G. BTN is one of the greatest things I have ever seen on TV.

You could pay Snyder the most money in college football over the past 5 years and KSU would still be up $10 million on KU.

TIFWIW:

A senior Buckeye poster has stated that he is being told that GIT has submitted paperwork or is "close to doing so".

I wouldn't roll with that as assured just yet but he is a pretty reliable source on info thus far. I just don't know who his "source" is.

Thought it was appropriate since this topic has slowed down with the UMD exit fee situation in limbo

Today FSU submitted their plan to the Big Ten to upgrade their academics and get to AAU status within 5 years.

I'm starting to think this may come about.

I have heard a lot from you about sources so I am unsure how to take any of this. So much, not sure what to buy.

Not my source. I Just know the guy who says this stuff is correct . It's hard to get more plugged into the Big Ten than this guy.

I've gotten really spoiled really fast being able to watch so many Husker athletic events.

It is indeed a break period. The rumors assembled on another team's fan site talk mostly of a scheduling alliance between the Bgi12 and the ACC. Seems odd that that UVa et al would be arranging a future OOC schedule plan while they plan to break it. Although, Pitt wouldn't have a problem with that.

Yes I did. Wasn't me who dug up the info though. Just someone I know KNOWS about this stuff.
