The Big Ten is on the verge of completing a $2.4 billion capital investment deal with a California pension fund, whether or not USC and Michigan are on board.
Yahoo!’s Ross Dellenger is reporting that the conference is pushing ahead with the deal despite USC and Michigan’s objections. The 20-year, $2.4 billion deal would include an extension of the conference grant of rights for another 10 years. The Wolverines and Trojans do not support the measure, but it may not matter.
