USC and the Big Ten...are we having fun yet?
Two weeks ago came the report that USC was attempting to circumvent the Big Ten media deal by scheduling ND at a neutral site location and selling the rights to the game to Netflix. The Big Ten's media partners were, predictably, irate.
Now comes the news that USC has teamed up with Michigan to try and torpedo the Big Ten's proposed private capital deal, and they appear to have, as of today, at least stalled the process. I find their alliance ironic, as Michigan likely still has an ax to grind with some in the conference office after Harbaugh's suspension during their 2023 run.
Mo' money, mo' problems...

Throw in Louisville and sell the rights to the reality show.

They just want more money.

Best thing for the ACC is that the Big Ten signs this deal. That likely stops expansion for a generation. And those schools will just blow the money on bad coaching decisions and inefficient capital construction.
In the NIL era, money needs to go to the players. Stop wasting it on coaches.

...I think you need a staff that can properly evaluate players and efficiently allocate resources to best fit your needs.

Our next coach. You have to spend money on both. Good players without a good coach will still leave you with a poor record.

The B1G or SEC would have taken them anytime if it didn't work out.
