Anyone know how much tv money they lost out on by not playing football this year? Every other well run major sports league is back playing - whether it's European soccer, mlb, nhl, nba or SEC football. Yet the Big 10 commissioner said no to football even though his own son plays in the SEC.
Big 10 Commish did not make the decision, university presidents did.

Ohio State out $104M...not chump change.
The US pro sports are a different world. NBA locked down the players as did NHL. How would you do that with 65 power 5 football teams and how many ever Group of 5 teams with 100 players each plus staff?
