the reduced share in the Big is not permanent - it was in the Big 12
Well technically, it wasn't permanent.  When Nebraska and Colorado left, the conferece voted to equalize revenue sharing.

By the way, I've always been in favor of equal revenue sharing.  It was a mistake that the B12 made.  I agreed with those who were denouncing it.

I just find it amusing that now, there is silence, and/or a feeling of "they are lesser and deserve it."

Truly funny how perspectives change when you've got to point the finger back at yourself.

Not sure where this finger pointing thing is coming from.

I'd be pissed if UCLA came in and earned the same money as Wisconsin.

Newbies have to earn their keep. Pay their dues. Real life stuff. Kinda like when you start at a job and don't make as much as the guy who's been there for 130* years.

I'll say this - I'm not pleased that OSU is getting more than everyone else.

* 130 years of B1G. I guess something is working, even though it feels like something is gonna break any time now.

It's all already broken.  We're just watching the death throes now.  How many players can any of us name from our starting 22 next year?  Blech.

Well technically, nothing is permanent in any conference.

I've always been in favor of equal revenue sharing, as well.

I wasn't a fan of UNL taking less than 100% for a few years.  Same with Washington.

If the program is worthy of conference membership they shouldn't have to take less.

but, there's the problem

I'm aware.

That never used to happen. Everything was evenly split among the 11 members, regardless of performance.

Yeah I'm not sure of the rules in the B1G but in the B12 the rule was, if your team appeared in the playoff, you got to keep something like half of that payout, and the conference divided the rest equally.  So if you played in multiple playoff games, presumably you'd get the incremental benefit of keeping half of the payout for each of those appearances.  Which would put you above the average conference distribution.  There was a similar thing for the basketball tourney, the deeper you went, the more money you made, and only had to split a portion of that with the conference.

Maybe the B1G has something similar.

 IMO most here deplore what has happened in the last 5-6 yrs across the CFB landscape. Players should be allowed to leave,coaches do it, but throwing gobs of cash at coaches and kids was real break from the traditions we grew up with and expect.Then adding more and more games to the post season is just a morbid money grab destroying cherished end of the season bowls. The whole thing is one big turd in a punch bowl,I'm ready to ignore CFB after rivalry week end as it apears to be a sham distraction
