The TV money is better in the Big 10.....but I can see there will be a huge disadvantage for both Socal schools when they play college football in bitter midwest cold weather temperatures. That weather will be a rude awakening compared to the more mild temperatures when they play the teams in Oregon or Washington. Also those road trips to see games in Norcal or Arizona were a thing, with them leaving to join a conference made up mostly of midwest schools I can't see a lot of fans making trips out to the midwest to see a road game.
If the TV money is better in the Big 10, why would the other 14 teams want to share this lucrative TV money with 2 new teams? Unless they pay per team?
This is one reason why there's an expansion fee in professional sports. Because the other owners don't want to share their TV revenue with new expansion teams.
How does the Big 10 benefit by getting UCLA and USC?
How does a conference generate money? I'm thinking the same as professional leagues?
1) TV revenue
2) sponsorship deals
3) Gate receipts
4) Merchandise
5) Bowl games
I'm thinking revenues are split evenly across all the members of the conference. So, there's 14 teams in the Big 10, and now adding USC and UCLA makes it a 16 team conference?
So, what does the Big 10 get out of letting USC and UCLA join?
Do they get more TV revenue? More bowl games revenue?
LA market. Rumor is each team will receive 100 million a year in TV revenue with the new Fox contract. I heard that the current Pac revenue is 30 million a year. It's too much $ for them to pass up. UCLA has a 30 million athletic deficit.
Yeah, I get it from the perspective of USC and UCLA.
What's the benefit to the Big 10? They get a more lucrative TV deal by recruiting UCLA and USC?
If each team is getting $100M a year, how much are the other 14 teams getting?
Or does UCLA and USC get more than the other Big 10 teams?

I don't know how it works in college sports.
The new Big 10 TV deal is still in negotiations. They can now ask for more money with the 2 Socal schools joining. The conference as a whole wins, as they are one of the other mega-conference other than the SEC. The Pac-12 TV deal was killing the bigger national programs like USC. They were getting a fraction of the money that schools in a conference like the SEC were getting.

Yeah, that's interesting how the Pac 12 couldn't leverage USC and UCLA into huge TV deals but the Big 10 can.
The Rose Bowl is going to be different now with USC and UCLA representing the Big 10.
Also, will the Big 10 change it's name now that they have 16 schools?
Nope, because the Big Ten is their brand, so they aren't going to change their name just because they added more schools.
And yes, the Rose Bowl will definitely be hurt by this. Instead of 2 teams playing each other on a game on New Years Day that haven't faced each other the entire season, it could be a rematch of a game that happened in the Big Ten regular season. The Rose Bowl might see a rematch of Big Ten schools like USC vs Ohio State or USC vs Michigan being a more appealing game rather than Washington vs USC.
I thought USC was going to finally dominate the PAC-12 again because of the lack of competition. This is shocking.
Although I kind of feel like saying good riddance. The PAC-12 has been embarrassing and the performance of the conference seems to decline as time goes by. No playoff team since 2016, and that was a 4th seeded Washington team that was overmatched and dominated by Alabama.
Shocking move if true, but then again the Pac-12's weakness as a conference led to something like this. I'm sure the Pac-12 network where its on a channel that has less exposure than something like Fox/FS1/Big 10 Network which is available in far less homes results in Pac-12 teams getting far less money than other conferences.
There's a dude on YT whose chan I like to peruse on the telly for the old school NBA stuff from 92-94 and NCAA hoops. He recorded SportsCenters every day from 1991 to 2002ish and uploaded recaps in chronological order, probably 90-120 mins of content each. He's got NCAA seasons from at least 91/2 to 97/8. The 92 clips are especially interesting for The Shaq appearances and Dookies. Shaq was ridiculous next to the Lilliputians in college ball if you thought the NBA was puny next to him. Also the Fab 5 gms from 93. I went thru the whole list from 1994/5 to revisit some of the 95 Bruins and I was surprised to re-learn that there were 4 Pac10 teams in the Tourney that year. UCLA, Arizona, Mario Bennett Arizona St, Oregon. There might've even been 5 with Stanford, can't recall. It wasn't a sh-less conf for the Bruins that year. Iirc, UMass w/ Camby was the team people thot were gonna win in 95 and or 96, but Camby got injured in season in 95 and they didn't recover. UNC w/ Sheed and Stack in 95. I think they got beat in a nasty upset. Arkansas was a tough matchup for a lot of teams as the title game opponent because they ran all night like an Arkansan LMU.
Dat Tyus Edney drive vs Mizzou, do'. The Marques Johnson radio call of that moment is great (his son was a Bruin in 97, Chris, had weight issues). Second it went in, he started screaming "YEAH, BABAY!" fifty-leven times in a row. That drive was the margin of error for the last Bruins championship team (to come for more decades, prob). Great ride, tho. The run w/ the Farmar/Afflalo/M'bah-a-Moute team was good, but you knew Florida was going to beat them, and they did.
I remember keeping tabs on the 92 Trojan team just for the Baby Jordan, but they lost to this. James Forrest was a 12th guy on the Lakers one year.
Actually Florida was only a 1 point favorite going into that game.
UCLA was actually a higher seed as a 2 seed while Florida was a 3. I wonder if you’re thinking of the rematch in 2007, when Florida was a #1 seed and defending national champs.

May be the case, but I was reffing to the 06 Champ game in partic (and then 07 for sure). I distinctly recall not having good vibes about the 06 game, thought Noah/Corey Brewer was at least the better duo amongst the teams. Remember talking to a Bruin fan at work about 06 the days leading up to the game, but he was ever-optimistic about LA teams in general, I am pessimistic by nature. Wasn't a fan of Farmar and also thought yuck when we picked him up as a rook, tho he became pleasantly serviceable by 08 (he was good in the 08/09 roles, but that had him as a 2nd rotation bench depth cat, not as a starter). My 2006 feeling might've been confirmed as something that was never even questionable after UCLA lost by 16 pts. Surprised in retrospect years later to hear that Vegas had 06 as only 1 pt diff, but that's college hoops for ya. Any solid attempt at predicting brackets now had better include some 2/15 upset or upsets just to make it realistic.
Where were your hopes against FL in those years? Were you optimistic in lieu of Noah on FL? I thought he was the top player on either team by a good margin if nothing else. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
^I didn’t follow college that closely, just watched UCLA and some other teams in that tournament. I don’t think I was confident in that UCLA team in most of the matchups starting from the Sweet 16. They faced a top 5 ranked Gonzaga team with Adam Morrison, beat a #1 seed Memphis team that was dominating games in the tournament, beat a really good LSU team in the Final 4 with Glen Davis.
Never thought Florida would be back-to-back champs, just saw them as another tough opponent that made it all the way to the championship game and thought it could go either way. UCLA was an ugly team to watch but they kept winning.
Even a year later when UCLA beat a top seeded Kansas, I thought they might take Florida in the rematch. Makes me wonder how UCLA would have done if Florida wasn’t so dominant in those years.
While it makes sense to me actually from a football perspective, it doesn't make sense at all for the vast majority of the sports at UCLA and USC from a travel/cost angle.
That said, football trumps all in the United States and I have to admit that matchups vs. the likes of Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, etc. are very attractive compared to Washington State, Arizona, Cal, etc.
What would be really good is if they brought Oregon and Washington in also and kicked out Illinois and Rutgers. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny

Heard they will add a couple more universities and they are waiting on Notre Dame. Oregon and Washington will probably be in the Big Ten as well since they have strong programs.
The money and TV deals from college football helps fund the rest of the university sports programs so it makes sense from a financial point of view. The Pac-12 TV deal was pretty poor compared to the other conference TV deals so I can see why USC and UCLA left. If some bottom tier SEC school is getting TV money that is a 3x more than what a top tier Pac-12 university is getting that is going to have some long term negative effects for that Pac-12 program.
Do we need to buy the big ten network to watch the games?
You have to buy whatever package that includes the channel. Nevertheless, the channel is available on more providers than the Pac-12 network, which is probably one of the reasons why both Socal schools decided to move to the Big Ten. TV revenue is a huge revenue stream of todays college sports and the Pac-12 network being locked out of many providers was the source of its downfall.

Big10 does equal TV and Bowl game revenue sharing. If USC/UCLA got more $, Ohio State would throw the biggest temper tantrum. They have carried the conference for the last 2 decades.

Because the Big10 brings TV viewers.
When USC was down in the post-Pete Carroll era, nobody could put the Pac-12 conference on their back to win a national championship. If your team can't put out national title contenders on a regular basis they are easily forgotten. Everything like the terrible TV deal is because the conference was weak so nobody wants to pay good money for a bad product.
Deal is supposed to be done. Last I saw it was for over 8 billion for 7 years. OSU AD Gene Smith the financial details aren't set yet, and that some numbers that are out there might just be projections based on the previous deal. "The money was huge."
Big10 commissioner said they aren't done expanding. I bet they add 2 more pac12 teams.
