Big Ten's Dirty SECRET: Who is Going BROKE?

from Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast · host Locked On Podcast Network

Ohio State athletics is closing in on a historic $500 million budget, but the other side of the Big Ten is facing a financial nightmare. In this episode, we expose the staggering $516 million deficit one Big Ten school has accumulated since joining the conference, and why several other athletic departments are on the verge of financial ruin. With the new House v. NCAA revenue-sharing rules adding an extra $20M+ annual burden, schools like Rutgers and Washington are facing unprecedented cash-flow crises. Can the bottom half of the Big Ten actually survive this relentless arms race, or will we see sports cut and programs fracture? Join the conversation!
