Who’s happy with the Big Ten? An analysis

The number of schools in the 14-team Big Ten (10) that are currently happy with the conference is almost certainly smaller than 14.

And there’s a good chance it’s smaller than 10.

Now, of course, all 14 Big Ten schools surely love their annual revenue distributions, which USA TODAY reported totaled roughly $55 million per school for the 12 schools with full revenue shares during the 2019 fiscal year (Maryland and Rutgers didn’t receive a full share as standard operating procedure for new schools that join the conference). And by no means are we suggesting that anyone from the conference is trying to jump ship, nor should they.
