How are these tied to the conference that a school is in? People keep bringing this up, but I can't see how it is relevant.


In the Big Ten (plus the University of Chicago), all schools actually share in research monies and findings. It is a collaboration. Other conferences do not do this though.

How does sharing of reasearch money work? Most research funding/grants are designated to be used in certain ways. I.e I can't just get a million dollar grant and give half of it away

Then it seems like UT doesn't gain anything by going to the Big 10 unless they earn less in research money than the average Big 10 school, which I think is probably unlikely. By going to any other conference, they get to keep their money.
