B1G Investigating $2.4B Private Equity Investment, Uneven Revenue Distribution

I think Nebraska should vote no.
A 20yr contract in a conference with other Universities, States and Legislators? For what??
Shareholders? Who need returns?

We the fans are the shareholders. Don’t sell out. We packed that stadium for nearly 70yrs. And travelled the best of any team for the same. We don’t need any other investors besides us.
 
Of all of the many issues with college football in 2025, a lack of money within the B1G conference isn't in the top 100.

I mean I can see why a school/athletic department like UCLA would want this.

But I can't see why Ohio St (and Ted Carter) sees value in this at all. I would have thought they'd be in the USC/Michigan camp.

Don't see why Nebraska would be either. The athletic department has no debt, sends money to the academic side of the university & still comes out in the black every year.
 
For a point of comparison, the original agreement that created the Big Ten Network was also a 20-year deal with a third party (Fox Sports). That seems to have worked out OK. Not apples to apples, but probably the closest comparison.
