Mr. Sportsknowitall: Nebraska has almost completed its five years in the B1G. Will they start receiving a full share of the B1G bucks? What is a B1G share worth? J.M.
Wait until next year — July 2017. Nebraska got about $22 million this year and a full share when NU finishes double-secret probation. A full share will be worth around $40 million to $50 million (or twice my salary), according to famous writers and serious newspaper investigators. (Humorous note: The Big Ten staff gets more than $20 million now.) The forecast is that Fox Network will bump the TV rights considerably in the next contract due next year.
