The B1G doesn't really have deadweight. Maybe an argument can be made for Purdue. Yes, Maryland and Rutgers aren't great at football but they expand the B1G's footprint East and into large markets.

The SEC I think you are looking at Vandy and Miss State. They could probably convince Vandy to leave on their own given the fact they fit in no way.

I suppose you could see the B1G/SEC consider a promotion/relegation model. In which case you could split 7/8 of the money evenly amongst all schools, and the other 1/8 goes to the schools in the premier division. That makes it "fair" compared to plain old uneven distribution. So if you have a payout of $1B then the top 8 split $562.5M while the bottom 8 split $437.5M. Those bottom 8 schools still make a lot more than schools in the ACC/B12/P12.

So for the B1G...

Premier
Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, UCLA

Other
Wisconsin, Maryland, Purdue, Michigan State, Nebraska, Indiana, Northwestern, Rutgers
