The Big Ten’s private capital deal is on pause. Here’s what it means

[YellowSnow]

How did we have college football for 100+ years without private equity? If your answer is not paying the players then maybe consider if that's not a sustainable endeavor.
Things will also get interesting as I assume the TV deals may have to eventually stop growing.

Same way we went from 1776 to 1913 without an income tax or central bank.
TITTT but IRYK

They don't make hit Broadway shows about Jefferson or Old Hickory, Chief.

Don't know about B1G/CBS/FOX, but ESPN is dying because the big SEC/CFP deals that everyone was jealous of is now slowly killing them.
TV contracts are probably going to be much smaller going forward and maybe schools are looking at this as a last resort to cutting AD's down to what they should be or cutting Olympic sports that fans have never had an appetite to pay for.
