USC and UCLA to the B1G

I think it was Maryland that got a deal where they'd receive a larger initial share 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.

 
@knapplc I know in UCLA's case, Under Armour screwed them by breaking their $280 million deal. That's still playing out in court. (UA did the same thing with Cal and Cincinnati.)

Similar info posted elsewhere but the entire article. A few quotes I found interesting.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/big-ten-commissioner-kevin-warren-possible-expansion-college-football-playoff-more/amp

"Warren said he was proud that USC and UCLA are AAU (Association of American University) members but also said being an AAU member is not a requirement for a potential future member."

“Literally every Power Five conference school not in the SEC has reached out to the Big Ten,” a source said about schools wanting to join the conference. “University presidents, athletic directors, senior women administrators, you name it.”

One Big Ten coach has an idea of how those things will settle.

“We know how this ends,” the coach said. “Twenty or more teams in the Big Ten, 20 or more teams in the SEC. One televised on Fox. One on ESPN. Just like the NFL. And then you have your Big Ten-SEC playoff for college’s Super Bowl.

So, with Warren's comment about the B1G being in four different time zones, does that hint that a Colorado/Utah/AZ/AZ st. could be added?

Unless  of course they are looking at Hawaii or Boise St? lol

Not only logistics for the league, but sadly to say...  Colorado, Utah and Arizona are AAU Members.

I think they would fit nicely.  Esp if we can play them often  ;)
