Nearing deal , for a second time

a few weeks ago , it was expected that the Big Ten schools were going to vote for this private equity deal

but at the last minute , USC and Michigan said , not so fast

so the Big Ten schools did do a conference call with each other , but no vote was taken

but now , Ross Dellenger over at Yahoo Sports is saying

[sports.yahoo.com]

Big Ten schools may vote on the 21st on this private equity deal

with , or without UCS and Michigan

has anything changed , or will it change by the 21st ????

sounds like the 16 of the 18 Big Ten schools will vote yes

so what does that mean for USC and Michigan , they can either play nice and simple vote yes , if they still vote no , they will get a 3-6 month grace period to change their mind , if they want to share in the private equity deal , also this would mean the grant of rights would be extended from 2036 to 2046

USC and Michigan would have to agree to that as well , or be left out after 2036

anyways , not sure what will happen , just my guess , and thats all it is , at some point USC and Michigan will end up playing nice and agree to play along

again , I have no idea , just a guess

I'm not sure if I'm for or against the deal , just simply don't have any information to decide either way

I'm just guessing this is the future of college sports ,all conference will be doing something simular in the future
