(original post) the B1G TV rights money doesn't vary based on the success of B1G institution football programs at an individual school level, so when folks say ... show more Well yes, but the league won’t let us give up on football like that. We’re getting our equal share of the payout because we’re investing it in trying to maintain a top tier football program as much as we can. If we stop doing that, every other school will vote to kick us out. The whole point of the tv rights deal is that the big ten has a good football product. if schools just stopped investing in that product, our tv rights deal would look more like the ACC(if that) and we wouldn’t be getting these big payouts. That’s just another long way of saying…football makes the money, and you have to spend money to make money.
