Not even remotely a moot point. It's only a very partial revenue share.

There is a max contribution to the shared pool of money - and the big boys (UM, OSU, PSU) get back the difference between the avg and the max. So the net revenue loss for the big boys from sharing is prob less than $2 million - on maybe $40million or so in ticket revenue. It's even less for the Iowa's, Mich St's, Neb's & Wisky's.

Ticket revenues absolutely matter in the Big 10.

That $5.4 million gap will just further separate ... -- Old Line Hokie 01/19/2016 9:17PM

Most of the separation is in ticket sales and donations. -- HOO86 01/19/2016 9:25PM

Ticket sales are a moot point, at least in the B1G. -- RappinRodney 01/20/2016 05:13AM
