Northwestern Faces Big Ten Gate Receipts Floor
Big Ten ADs voted to guarantee visiting teams at least 100000 in take home receipts for league games. Northwestern may be squeezed as Dyche Stadium crowds last season failed to meet the floor, with Ohio State earning 72000 from a single visit. The rule, approved in March, can be vetoed by faculty reps in Evanston but widespread doubt remains. Northwestern, Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue could lose substantial gate revenue if hosts fall below the threshold. Michigan offered 300000 to move a game to Ann Arbor, highlighting the financial stakes.
