Nebraska is a full B1G member now right?

In that they get full money from B1G TV deals and bowl payouts?

 

[iruletheskool]

yea, think it starts next year

No wonder eating the buyout isn't a big deal. Would not be surprised to see N shell out 4-5 million a year on a new HBC.

Pretty sure it is 2017 is 100%.
2016 is 90%
2015 is 80%.

In 2017, when Nebraska will finally be on equal financial footing with the core Big Ten schools, the school's annual revenue from the conference could well swell to between $40 million and $50 million a year.

Such a figure is astounding compared with four years ago, when the Big 12 paid NU $9 million.
The university in 2017 also gains a full ownership share in the Big Ten's TV network, which analysts have valued at more than $1.3billion.

Yeah. Big contract incoming.

Romeo was trying to say Nebraska doesn't have nearly as much money as they think.

Nebraska actually has more money than any of us think.

And I already thought we had a lot. But talk to a booster and you'll find out what the situation really is.

People around the country are going to shit bricks when they see how much we comfortably shell out for this next coaching staff.

If they pay out Lamborghini money we better not be getting Yugo quality. Or even Mercedes quality.

If anyone reads my posts, when I was in Lincoln for Thanksgiving I heard the number that is in the war chest, or "reserve fund", that will be used to payoff this staff and hire the next staff.

Right now, Nebraska can pay out in cash all the salaries, bonuses, severance, and payoff of any buy out clauses(ie McElwain) and still have that much and MORE cash to hire the next staff. In other words, the number is a lot larger than you think. If you consider that the buy outs and payoffs could be near $20,000,000, Nebraska has a lot of money, and that is just the rainy day reserve fund.
