How much money is UMD going to get from the B1G conference?

Anonymous wrote:I have read several articles over the past few weeks which assert that the Big Ten is mostly interested in UNC, Virginia, and Georgia Tech from the ACC.

A report today stated that the University of Oregon has again approached the Big Ten asking if Oregon would be "compatible".

Articles & blogs suggest that the Pac 12 is in a state of confusion. Almost as if the Pac 12 is waiting to see which schools will be the next to leave the conference. This is sad, but the SEC & Big Ten need to expand in order to get rid of NCAA oversight (and trade it for oversight by the broadcast media networks).

My preference would be for Stanford, Washington, and Oregon to join the Big Ten along with Notre Dame.

Georgia Tech makes sense due to Atlanta media market & as an entrance by the Big Ten into more fertile recruiting grounds.

UNC has serious connections to the Big Ten (not sure, but I believe that the former Big Ten Commissioner Jim Phillips is now the athletic director at UNC).

I think Stanford, ND and maybe Washington from the west coast and two of UNC, UVA, and GT (three if Washington is in) makes the most sense.

Why would the University of Florida move ????

If Florida leaves the SEC, then FSU will move to the SEC and get first choice on many top recruits.

The Big Ten and its broadcast partners want Notre Dame--even though it is not an AAU member school.

The Big Ten would accept Texas in a heartbeat.

Beyond Notre Dame and Texas, all other schools are speculation.

West Coast schools such as Stanford, Cal, Oregon, and Washington are being considered so that USC & UCLA can have regional playmates. Stanford is also attractive since it has a traditional rivalry with Notre Dame--and the Big Ten really, really, really wants Notre Dame.

Stanford is for the #5 media market. They are going to be asked plus maybe Cal. Then the BiG has NYC, LA, Chi, DC/Balt and SF/Oak. Checkmate for dollars.

Google search shows Dallas/Ft. Worth as the #5 media market, then San Francisco area at #6. Georgia Tech offers the Atlanta media market and an in-road to one of the top football recruiting states (Texas & Florida may be the top 2 football recruiting states. California should be among the top 5).

Interesting but Atlanta is 90 percent for UGA. That market is not big enough to be split .

As long as cable packages and mandatory RSN are a thing, location is all that matters. Do you think the majority of NYC cares about Rutgers football? Even in DC, UMD gets terrible ratings. All that matters is forcing cable companies to carry the big 10 network. Once cable dies, the question is whether or not the outliers like UMD and Rutgers that don't really fit get jettisoned.

The cable packages are why the B1G bent over backwards for UMD which has taken the ACCs most valuable school and subsequently destroyed the ACC

+1. The Big just took LA and SF is next. That’s the top 5 media markets UMD brings the Big Ten show to a stadium inside the DC beltway and no competition for hundreds of miles.

No schools would ever get “kicked out” and if they did it would be Purdue, Northwestern( Illinois duplicate), Michigan State.

UMD brings a perfect market and is the 3rd biggest research budget in the conference.

It’ll be great for UMD if Snyder moves the Burgundy and Gold to way out in Prince William County. That way the Big Ten show is the main big time football inside the DC beltway.

Purdue, MSU, and Northwestern will never be kicked out of the Big Ten.
No Big 10 school from the Midwest, other than Nebraska, would ever get kicked out of the conference.

Absent a serious ethical or financial situation, no school is going to be kicked out of the Big Ten Conference.

Recent valuations done for the Big Ten Conference: Oregon worth $30 million; UCal-Berkeley value added to be estimated at $45 million; Stanford also at $45 million.

Lots of pressure to add Cal-Berkeley coming from Gavin Newsome and other California politicians.

Big Ten likely to add Cal-Berkeley, Stanford, Washington, & Oregon.

So all these schools reduce the payout to each member school which is now 75 million. The only thing that makes sense is one of Stanford or Cal. If one takes the SF market it’s worth double the 40 mil and leaves the other one in the dust.

The Big Ten media rights contract includes escalator clauses which increase payouts from broadcasters to the Big Ten if more schools are added to the conference.

Have you been to a sports bar around here on a Saturday afternoon? Maryland isn't even the most represented Big Ten school let alone a school without competition.

It’s the Big Ten show. UMD brings these huge alumni bases teams inside the beltway. That UMD has more NCAA era national football championships than Michigan or the surprisingly high UMD ratings on national TV broadcasts is not the issue.

I feel really bad for the ACC. The Big Ten took its most valuable asset in UMD and threw it into a tizzy. The panicked and unintelligent response of the schools has locked the whole group into a horrible situation.

Yet Michigan is much more likely to be on a prime tv at any bar and maryland almost never is

Is this the same Maryland that struggles to sell out football and basketball now? The same Maryland that had to slash programs because their revenue dipped so low thanks to a total lack of support?

Yep.

It monetized its location and took its money from the ACC leaving those poor schools scrambling
