Good point I saw made by Gabe DeArmond this morning:
For the B1G schools to break even financially, the new schools would need to add $60M of value to the league’s payouts.
Unless the big leagues decide to break away from the NCAA right now, the B1G may stay out. PAC and ACC should be aggressive.
KU to the ACC might make a lot of sense, even right now. They probably need another National brand more than the B1G does.
