The Big Ten Private Equity Threat: A $2B Sellout?
🚨 Big Ten Private Equity Disaster: $2 Billion Sellout That Could Ruin College Football! 🚨 Dive into the shocking latest news on the Big Ten's proposed $2B private equity deal that's got fans and schools up in arms. In this episode of The Big Ten Huddle, host JR breaks down how investors are eyeing a slice of TV rights and sponsorships through a new "Big Ten Enterprises," locking schools in until 2046 while tiering payouts that favor giants like Ohio State over mid-tier programs. Is this stability or a corporate betrayal? JR argues it's the latter—a nightmare that commodifies rivalries, crushes underdogs, and turns your Saturday traditions into profit spreadsheets. With pushback from Michigan and OSU, plus ties to endowment offsets and FanDuel odds highlighting the inequality, this could spell doom for the sport we love.
