Which has a great chance of happening again...at some point.
Sharing in the revenue is part of it (though in the end I don't think it amounts to much per school), and sharing in the costs is the other side of this "socialistic" enterprise.
The whole idea of forcing schools to eat all unsold tickets and the minimum stay times for the teams at the game site continue to benefit the fat cats who run the bowls. The pooling of B1G ticket losses may make it more acceptable to those who manage athletic department budgets (though the teams that don't go to bowls have to be a little bitter), but in the end, the bowls will continue on and make money for the organizers. We'll never get playoffs unless the bowls start taking financial baths.
In one way, the bowl-bound schools and their fans are "enabelers" of the bowl administrators/"addicts". In the Marxist view, the colleges are the duped proletariat, and the bowl insiders are the greedy bourgeosie.

It's a reason to like the league this year, but for many of our previous years, we were the one's selling out and would not have liked subsidizing the Colorado's and Missouri's of our old conference.
Maybe they should treat gate receipts at the conference basketball games the same way (pool and share...) At least that way we'd be a long time recipient.
I guess it's a good way to keep the doormats happy to be B1G doormats year after year.
Boy, would Missouri ever love that arrangement.
A business partnership isn't "communist", but the partners agree to split costs and profits. The conference produces both costs and benefits shared by all those that have voluntarily entered into the partnership.
In one sport?....
I said Socialist not Communist...you know where the lower class not working receives the profits of those willing to work
Again, it's a voluntary business relationship. Socialism would allow others to participate that the conference does not want as part of their group, and would not allow the conference to freely remove those they do not want. In my opinion, it's called being great business partners.
Not as of the last article that I saw.
I thought Nebraska usually filled the Devany Center for most games?
hahaha...you jokin' right???
Everytime I see them on tv it usually looks full.
