But also, what could be more alpha than making TCU a helmet program?

The Big Ten Conference has established a new benchmark in the how-high-is-up world of college sports finance: It recorded nearly $759 million in revenue during its 2018 fiscal year.

The figure, which far exceeds any comparable annual figure for a college sports conference, was revealed in a new federal tax return that the conference provided Wednesday in response to a request from USA TODAY. It is a year-over-year revenue increase of 48 percent, with the conference reaching $512.9 million in fiscal 2017.

The return also showed that commissioner Jim Delany was credited was just over $5.5 million in total compensation for the 2017 calendar year. That, too, is a single-year record for a conference.

The revenue total was driven by new TV agreements that took effect at the start of the 2017-18 school year and resulted in payments of roughly $54 million to each of the 14-team conference’s 12 longest-standing members. Maryland and Rutgers received smaller revenue-share amounts, but both schools also received loans from the conference against future revenue shares.



In February, the Southeastern Conference reported just under $660 million in revenue for fiscal 2018, resulting in an average of $43.7 million being distributed to the 13 member schools that received full shares. Mississippi did not get a full share because its football team was banned from postseason play.


The 10-team Big 12 recently reported $374 million in revenue for 2018.

Reality:  You’re making the 2nd-most money by a conference.

SEC:  Hold my beer...

"I dunno... If you look at the list of current FBS head coaches, and sort it by the year they were hired, you see a lot of guys who have been at their current coach for a long time, could certainly move up to more "premier" jobs if they wanted, but haven't.

Patterson at TCU. Gundy at OkSU. Frank Solich who has tasted "pressure" jobs and seems to enjoy killing it in the MAC. Kyle Whittingham at Utah. Fitz at NW (although that's a special case as it's his alma mater). And that's leaving Ferentz off the list as the longest-tenured in the business. I'd say that several of them (Patterson, Gundy, Whittingham) would be looked at for "bigger" jobs if they wanted to move.

I do think there are some coaches who are "climbers", in that they want to always move up to the next biggest job. But personality-wise, would you say that Gundy, or Whittingham, or Fitz aren't "alphas"?"


I can't exactly tell what side OAM and bwarbiany are on, but to answer OAM's question, as people, yes, they're all alphas. You could perhaps argue some are slightly more alpha or whatnot, but you don't get to be the HC of that kind of team being reserved and deferential. 

I assume some who don't move on find the next opportunity less ideal than what they have going. As in, they have built something, and don't want to leave it to clean up someone else's mess. Now perhaps cleaning up messes is the most alpha, but that's another lens to look at it with. 

Patterson is an interesting one, but he seems to be wanting to build. I can't get a read on Gundy. He seems to simultaneously spar with is true boss and be settled. Solich isn't still at Ohio necessarily because he likes it (though I think he does), but because he was 65 by the time he was hirable for a better job, and almost no notably better jobs hire that old. 

Let's put it this way, we can all agree Barry Alvarez could not be construed as beta. Yet he turned down Miami to stay at Wisconsin. Running any program is super hard. You're talking about different kinds of hard, I suppose. Building Wisconsin and TCU to contenders is harder than doing it at USC or Bama, but those latter two jobs are harder in different ways.

(Also, if taking on a massive challenge with limitless self assurance if "alpha," let us all appreciate the most alpha coach of all, Mike Shula. No college experience and he got the Bama job at 38. That's impressive.)

not just bama, but a run down, heavily sanctioned bama with reduced scholarship numbers and post season bans. AND taking over in the summer AFTER spring ball and the debacle that was mike price. almost unheard of.

fwiw, the alpha male bs has been largely debunked.

Yeah, nobody is knocking Solich's door down. When he didn't wind up getting to be Nebraska's Earle Bruce he found a nice little niche to slide into. 

Really he has been working miracles at Ohio U, but they have a pretty hard ceiling. They were so bad before he showed up. Like one or two wins a year bad.
