If USC & Michigan left the B1G to go Independent, what would it cost them & would it be worth it?

Im not sure about any penalties for exiting the conference.

But there are major benefits for both UM & USC leaving.

If this were to happen USC, ND, Michigan could each play each other yearly. Giving each an immediate boost to SOS, USC could broker a deal with some conference (Pac-12 or Big-12) & play a good chunk of their teams, Michigan does the same with ACC, Big-12, or SEC.

If any school makes the CFP then gets to the National Championship that’s 21 million they keep, instead of splitting with a conference.

Pretty sure USC & Michigan could get good TV deals as well or possibly streaming on Prime, YT, or Netflix for a bag.

What are your thoughts on this potential(unlikely) situation?
