B1G blue bloods might vote down $135M lump sum, could P1 give them more?

This money would come from the California Pension Plan investment. They need a unanimous vote to approve it, but at least two are not so hot on it for some reason. Could the blue bloods of the B1G and SEC have bigger plans like a P1 with even more money? 🤷‍♂️ ** Edited by Stech at 10/16/2025, 8:24:31 AM

Feels like FSU, Clemson and UNC not voting for expansion, Saban’s P1 maybe?**

Those schools do not need an injection of cash. I will

LOL, I think it is! :-)**

Point of clarification, I don't think this is an annual payment.

Okay, if true that would make a huge difference, so that get this lump sum

I would assume for 2.4B, they want 10% of Rev, not Profit.**
Red Hokie • 10/15/25 12:24 PM ET
Not sure, huge difference though!**

Two points
goldendomer • 10/14/25 12:53 PM ET
thank you. if it's 10% of gross income, it's a good deal for the pensioners**

If blue bloods turn it down, it will say they believe they'll make more $$

Sounds to me like this could result in multiple standalone leagues...

That’s 1 way to break up the Conference, but big *TV $ wants more stability
