Agree to the deal or else!Sources: Big Ten execs pressing to make $2.4 billion investment deal — without Michigan and USC if neededIn messages sent to Michigan and USC, the Big Ten has signaled that it is moving forward with the deal, even delivering to each program a proposed deadline for their decision. If they don’t agree to the deal, the schools may lose the additional capital as part of the landmark proposal and risk their future within the conference beyond 2036, the current end of the existing grant-of-rights agreement. League officials are socializing a specific date — Nov. 21 — for a vote on the capital investment proposal.Administrators and board members at both Michigan and USC were informed earlier this week that, if a 16-school agreement is reached, the two programs would be granted a grace period — three to six months — to agree to join the deal if they wish to reap the full financial benefits. That period is only a proposal for now.
2 hours ago2 hr No. This smells on so many levels, kind of the college football equivalent of a payday loan.
2 hours ago2 hr No. I've been confused on how will this affect realignment, I've seen some say it will stop it completely and other say that there's new members being considered but that they will come alongside the deal.Either way this is hella controversial
