Everyone's getting their pantaloons in a bunch over the buyout money going to 3 schools which yes, might be a little excessive, but look at it from pollard's point of view: "so 3 of the biggest schools in the conference are about to bolt, and all we have to do is forfeit $2-3 million in revenue we shouldn't have really received to begin with (assuming this was a normal year) to keep that from happening? Done."
For the point about not renegotiating the TV contracts immediately: you weren't expecting this 3 months ago, where's this "what have you done for me lately; I deserve more just because" mentality coming from?
And as far as the unequal payouts as far as TV goes, that's a simple one. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing in the contract that says most of the money has to go to texas [citation needed]; all we have to do is win the whole ******* thing every year, grab the nation's attention, and we're making big 10 money +.
