Big Ten revenue sharing model discussed by Ohio State president

WASHINGTON -- Ohio State University President Ted Carter left open the possibility of changes to Big Ten Conference schools’ revenue-sharing arrangements and his own institution’s approach to how its athletics department is funded.

During a Tuesday, Sept. 9 interview with USA TODAY that also covered an array of Ohio State-specific and national higher-education topics, Carter addressed questions about two longstanding features of the school’s sports financial picture: Roughly equal sharing of Big Ten revenue among the conference’s longest-standing members and zero dollars in university or student-fee money being used to support the athletics department.
