Trouble in the Big Ten; Baylor AD and Playoff Committee Chair Steps Down
Manage episode 519364337 series 3693762
Tony Petitti’s controversial $2.4 billion Big Ten Enterprises private capital plan is tearing the league apart, with USC and Michigan now questioning their future and even sparking talk of going independent. I break down how the 10% UC Investments stake, the new grant of rights through 2046 and uneven revenue shares create big winners and losers, and why some insiders think it’s “headed towards blowing things up.” Then we dive into what Baylor AD Mack Rhoades stepping away from Baylor and the College Football Playoff selection committee chair role means for the Big 12’s playoff hopes, how an SEC AD now running the room changes the politics, and why BYU and Utah’s at-large paths are shrinking fast. We also hit the latest Kenny Dillingham rumors at Arizona State, how this coaching carousel could reshape the Big 12, and preview a massive Week 12 slate with Jon Wilner, including what it all means for Texas Tech, BYU, Utah and the rest of the Big 12 in the 12-team CFP era.
