USC to pay $50 million and apologize to UC San Diego for poaching its Alzheimer’s research program

The big money is in research $$$. This is why the B1G took in Rutgers and Maryland, the premier research institutions in their states. The B1G Academic Alliance controls billions, not the millions that TV contracts bring...

USC decided to skip doing their own research and instead steal San Diego's.

Yeah. Is there a pattern here? Ever notice that the blue collar schools who offer an under the radar player all of a sudden gets attention from them? Peterson and Whittingham are both known for seeking them out and developing them. The ones that go for the bright lights/big city seem to not get developed and die on the vine....

This ^^ ... USC would be lost without its 4 & 5* recruits.

If that was true, the University of Chicago would still be part of the Big Ten.

Actually, that is only partially true...

The Committee on Institutional Cooperation was established by the presidents of the Big Ten members in 1958 as the conference's academic counterpart. An invitation extended to the University of Chicago, one of the founding members of the Big Ten who withdrew from the conference in 1946, was accepted.[4]

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) had been a guest member in the CIC for over 20 years, before guest membership was ended at the end of the 2010–11 academic year.[5][6]

Following its admittance to the Big Ten in 1990, the CIC invited Pennsylvania State University to join the consortium.[7] The University of Nebraska–Lincolnalso joined the consortium in 2011 following the school's admittance to the Big Ten.[8]

The University of Maryland and Rutgers University, who joined the Big Ten in 2014, joined the consortium on July 1, 2013.[9]

On June 29, 2016, the name of the consortium was changed from "Committee on Institutional Cooperation" to "Big Ten Academic Alliance".[2] The University of Chicago, a former Big Ten Conference member and former member of the CIC, is not a member of the rebranded consortium, but will continue to be a collaborator.[10][11]
