B1G Payout in 2017-2018 $45m plus

[HuskerinBig10]

In 2013, Nebraska was paid $15,000,000 by the B1G. New teams to the Big 12 TCU and West Virginia were paid $11,000,000. The other eight members of the Big 12 were paid $22,000,000 each. That $22,000,000 is about the ceiling for the Big 12 payouts for the next 11 years.

Nebraska is still on the short end of athletic money, but still turns a profit. Remember, that is just the B1G Athletic money. Something like only 22 Athletic Departments turn a profit and some of those 22 are actually getting subsidies from their state taxpayers to help turn a profit.

When you throw in the CIC benefits/money, Nebraska's net surpassed the $22,000,000 payout from the Big 12.

The new TV contract will be negotiated in 2015 with estimates that the conference will get around $600,000,000 per year to $700,000,000 per year. It is possible that the correct two more schools could pop the number higher.

I pointed this out before, the University of Chicago(member of the CIC) brought in almost the same amount of federal research dollars as the University of Texas, a little over $300,000,000. Texas also has other richer funding sources from private industry.

The last numbers I saw for the CIC, including Rutgers and Maryland(members since July 1, 2013) the CIC dollars were near $6,000,000,000. Yes, BILLION. Michigan gets the lion's share, near $1,000,000,000.

Out of the Top 20 R&D schools, five are from the B1G, four from the PAC 12, ZERO from the Big 12, ZERO from the SEC, two from the ACC. (BTW, Nebraska is not one of the five)

The economic move to the B1G is obvious, it was SMART. Now, can the athletic move to the B1G prove to be smart? I think so.

In 2015, Nebraska will be a national championship contender in football. I will add one caveat, if Randy Gregory leaves after this season(probably) then the chances will go down unless there is some other player that is nearly as good as Randy Gregory. Right now, there isn't anyone else like Randy Gregory on the team and no one is even close.

Must make an addition. I completely forgot about Johns Hopkins Lacrosse teams joining the B1G.

Johns Hopkins is the number 1 R&D school in the country. If Johns Hopkins gets in the CIC, that would give the Top Three R&D schools all from the B1G. A Penn State article says Johns-Hopkins plans to apply for membership in the CIC.

That would put the B1G at roughly 50% of the federal research dollars given out each year. Yes, you are reading that correctly, the B1G would get 50% of the money from Washington D.C. Sixteen universities would get 50% of the annual federal research dollar budget. That is positively HUGE money.

I have posted on here how the B1G is surrounding Washington DC because DC is a cash cow. Pennsylvania to the north, Maryland to the east, New Jersey to the east, Ohio is not far, just add Virginia for the complete encirclement of Washington DC. Which is probably why the B1G has a satellite office in Washington DC. Johns-Hopkins is in Baltimore, Maryland.

I beg to differ

Actually I don't. Gregory is a potential top 3 pick and it's not out of the realm of possibility that he goes first overall. He's better than Clowney.

It's completely unrealistic to expect anyone else besides Randy to be a surefire high first rounder on this team with all of the youth.

Gregory is not a top 3 pick or first overall potential pick lol. We need to see more out of him this year, he is good, but undersized. Just look at what Suh did and Suh was 2nd pick overall. Gregory is like a 1/3rd of what Suh was for us on D.

Suh went from 34 to 76 to 85 tackles from his sophomore > junior > senior seasons. He wasn't picked that high on his sophomore #'s.

It only takes one disruptor to free another guy up as well as being a major personal pain in the ass for someone's backfield. It's been a while since Nebraska's had a great DE, He's already outdone the last fixture. I suspect we'll see more out of him this year as you suggest.

I'm telling you guys.....

New football with grip on it........Defense returns experience up front.........best RB in the werld returns......experience at talent positions all over the place.....

We win the Natty this year.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Most of all though, the new football with grip on it.......this will stop the turnovers for once and for always.

I think they can win 10 games if they can get a bounce in a close one. Possible West rep in the CCG, and a bowl to make 11 wins for the 1st time in forever.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

The only ball that will be bouncing is that of the opponents this season.

Our ball has grip on it now.

Well the Huskers need to fucking recover it then, don't they?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

They probably don't "need" to.....

I mean, imagine if we could take away our own turnovers over the past 6 seasons......

Shit, we might be 3 time Natty Champions.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Taylor doesn't even realize it, but he would have won the Heisman had he just used a real football.

I still can't believe that he found a couple of little kids kicking around a ball on a playground during a Big 12 retreat down in Kansas City and he asked if he could have the ball and use it as the game ball.....if only he knew what could have been.

What about the P/K teams? What about unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, halftime adjustments en sech?

lol

The pressure that the slick football put on the other parts of our team was just unfathomable.

Do you think he slept with that ball?

Not holding it obviously. Just laying next to it en sech.

Well, I don't know much on the subject......but what I do know from a few inside sources is.....that exact football is what caused Taylor to sit out this past season.

He caught the ball sleeping around with other teammates.......namely Tommy Armstrong.

When he walked in on Tommy and his ball and realized how much larger Tommy was than him, he went to kick the ball but missed and instead broke his toes on Tommy's dick.

Sad story. You can understand why they didn't want it getting leaked to the media though.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Essentially Tommy Armstrong pulled a Tonya Harding on Taylor and took his spot

Yup. He added 15 years to Bo's life in just 4.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

JJM, I am beginning to dig this slick football story. It has legs, so to speak. I will stick to 2015 as the year. The offenses and the defenses will all be veteran players in 2015. I give the offense this year to have some growing pains, the defense had that last year and will further gel as a unit in 2014.

2015 the defense will have its identity, and the offense will just be bringing in a new running back, but that running back will have game experience. Running backs are pretty easy to plug into an offense, an eight year old can run in that offense.
