Mandel on B10 Expansion: Risks could Outweigh Rewards

The Big Ten does not publicly release revenue-sharing figures, but it's been reported that its rights deals with ABC/ESPN and the Big Ten Network generate about $212 million annually. (That's in addition to the league's direct profits from its jointly owned network.) Add in this season's two BCS berths ($22.3 million) and five other bowl berths (about $14 million), and we're talking a minimally estimated $248.3 million in shared revenue, or $22.6 million per team.

I agree, Pitt and Mizzou don't float my boat

how about we add Hawaii? The NCAA lets you play 13 games if you play at Hawaii. The extra game each year for half of the conference teams would bring in a lot of extra ticket revenue, and it's a quasi bowl game experience for the teams that miss a real bowl bid
