Might as well enjoy a Kale Smoothie while you’re at it.

That may be true, but it's two different buckets. You can't pay for sports with research grants or endowment money that isn't earmarked for sports.

The reality is that nobody is leaving the B1G or the SEC any time soon because they make the most money. No amount of infighting will trump cash. A more likely scenario is the B1G and SEC raiding the ACC in 2036. By the time their TV deal ends in 2036 they'll be WAY behind what the SEC and B1G are about to get.

That's sort of my point. THere's so much funding for B1G universities that it would be foolish to forego some or all of that funding for sports. They are academic institutions after all.

Can guarantee that the Athletics side wouldn't be saying the same thing.

I guarantee that the B1G conference threatened to take away their share of monies, essentially forcing Nebraska to bail

Dan Patrick was saying this morning the loophole is that the Big 10 didn’t technically cancel, only “postponed”.. so the conference could sue Nebraska

By the time they actually cancel this spring nonsense, it’ll be mid/late Fall

They should have just said an academic alliance. That would have ruffled some feathers.
