Episode Synopsis

The Big Ten Conference is considering a $2.4 billion private equity deal with UC Investments, but not all schools are on board. The University of Michigan and USC have expressed reservations, leading to a pause in negotiations. Michigan officials have criticized the deal as reckless and short-sighted, and there are suggestions that the university might leave the Big Ten if the deal proceeds without full consensus. This potential departure could mark a monumental shift in college sports, opening up possibilities for Michigan to become an independent program or join another major conference.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
