USC, Michigan Officials Oppose Big Ten Investment Proposal

The Big Ten is seeking unanimous approval from member schools to move forward with a $2.4 billion private capital proposal involving a California pension fund. But opposition from university officials at Michigan and USC might tank the deal.

A group of board members from the two schools met virtually on Tuesday to discuss their concerns with the deal, a source familiar with the matter told Front Office Sports. The source said it appears, at this point, the members of both university boards have close to unanimous feelings of opposition.
