USC and UCLA to the B1G

Who would you suggest they would be after.  Not a lot of big name big value teams out there.   Having USC/UCLA way off on the west coast without some near by traveling buddies doesn't seem like a good long term plan

I am personally fine with Washington and Oregon, but it seems like the B10 would have pulled trigger if they were fine with it. I think we need to round out the west too, but if it makes the slice of pie smaller they may not be in any hurry.    I don’t see the SEC going after them either. They will be available later. Having teams in the SECs backyard would be great I think. Texas is out of AAU and brand name schools. In order, I would say, Clemson. Miami or FSU. NC. Virginia. GT.

I will break my "adding value" rule for UNLV.  Throw a bone to the B1G fans and add UNLV.  Having a trip to Vegas every other year for a Husker game would be awesome.  And as a condition for joining the B1G, make UNLV only have home games in October and November.

Vegas is a shi$hole.  i would fly to omaha (lincoln) any day, in any weather.

someone call up those parents of the players to slap a lawsuit on the big10 seeking our full share we never got when we joined

Am I remembering this right?  Is it mainly Nebraska that got hosed here?  

Didn't Maryland and Rutgers get shorted in part because they got a loan to pay off their exit fees?  Or perhaps they got shorted for the load and also got shorted beyond that.

Not that I'm complaining.  Just interesting.

Yep, pretty sure we had like a 5 year step up program in place where we got more and more each year and then around 2016ish (could be off) we got our full share of revenue.

I dont recall what rutgers and maryland had but I imagine they had a similar plan in place

Optics wise, its a horrendous look.  Do I care? meh, not really, we werent hurting for money.  

Is somewhat hypocritical tho

It's probably safe to say that the Big Ten learned a lesson in how not to treat a new school when Nebraska joined. Lesson learned, they didn't do the same to Rutgers & Maryland, or to USC & UCLA.

Yeah, I think it was Maryland that got a deal where they'd receive a larger initial share (larger than Nebraska's at the time) in exchange for a longer buy-in period. They needed the money up front to pay their exit fee, and had to accept a longer period of receiving less than other members.

Meanwhile, Rutgers is $250 million in debt. UCLA is something like $100 million in debt.
