I doubt this will happen, but if it does, you gotta go with Stanford.

Just more regents and politicians being blowhards. Not sure how they're going to hold UCLA retroactively to a rule that didn't exist when they made the choice. That's got "court case" written all over it, and I'm pretty sure none of them actually want to end up in court.

Much ado about nothing.

UCLA Regents may block move to Big Ten.

LoL.

Stanford, as an available private school (thus not subject to Regents) must be ecstatic. If UCLA becomes more trouble than they are worth (not THAT high of a bar), a swap for Stanford is a VERY easy solution.

It is kind of interesting 160 years after the Civil War that Missouri still has this cultural dilemma of whether they want to be considered part of the south or not.

One of the slave states that decided to stay with the Union during the Civil War. I always thought Missouri would be good state for a first in the nation primary in presidential election years. Average in population and size. With both urban and rural areas. Farmlands in north. Ozark hillbilly area in south. What an interesting mix of cultures.

I also find it interesting that universities in the deep Confederacy (most notably Auburn and Georgia) use the Battle Hymn of the Republic as their fight song.

Yeah, this struck me as interesting as well. When those two play, it's often called "The Oldest Rivalry in the DEEP South". UVA-UNC have an older one.

I sort of chuckle about the "deep South" term as well, as if North Carolina is in the north.

On this day in 1862, the poem from which UGA borrowed its de facto fight song, “Glory, Glory”, was published (usatoday.com)

In one of the most moving traditions in college sports, a slower-played version, using a more complete melody of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” is played before the start of each home football game. A Redcoat solo trumpet-player takes a position on the upper deck of the south stands near the west endzone and reverently plays the first haunting fourteen notes of the Battle Hymn to an adoring crowd. During the solo, BulldogNation rises to their feet and acknowledge their respect to the soloist by pointing towards the upper deck. To make the atmosphere even more electric, on the video board, UGA legendary broadcaster Larry Munson narrates a moving piece on the hallowed traditions of Georgia football, and the Redcoat Band finishes the song, which is referred to as “The Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation” by Munson.

It has been said that the fans are so drunk the words needed to be as simple as possible, and they pretty much are:

Glory, Glory
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
G-E-O-R-G-I-A
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
Glory, glory to old Georgia!
G-E-O-R-G-I-A

^^^^^

The above is important. Some of the initial speculation was that Fox would always get first pick, the way CBS does for the SEC. And since Fox loves their Big Noon, that would mean that Ohio State and Michigan would be doomed to that noon/11 AM game forever and ever.

But if they rotate, that will mean that the biggest name-brand games will have shots to be on CBS at 2:30/3:30, and presumably NBC at night, as well.

That's a lot of money.

Gigem · « **Reply #836 on:** August 18, 2022, 03:01:08 PM »

So what does that translate to in a per school payout compared to today ?

utee94 · « **Reply #837 on:** August 18, 2022, 03:27:38 PM »

Well 7 billion over 7 years, 1 billion per year divided by 16 teams = $62,500,000/school/year

But it's really tough to compare because total distributions include other stuff. They include bowl game revenue, random additional rights revenue, and for the B1G, the additional revenue also includes BTN revenue.

I don't know what the Tier1/2 media rights were selling for previously, or what percentage of the total distribution it was.

NIL was just the start. Sooner or later they will have to pay the players directly.
