Stevens | S001215 | stevens.house.gov | stevens | https://stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens released a new video sounding the alarm on the Big Ten’s consideration of a $2.4 billion deal with UC Investments – a move she warned would put corporate greed ahead of Michigan students, athletes, and long-held traditions. After writing and meeting with Commissioner Tony Petitti to push for answers to protect the Big Ten’s identity for the next generation of athletes and fans, Congresswoman Haley Stevens is making it clear: corporate greed has no place in college sports. Image Watch the video here. Key Excerpts: We cannot let corporate greed take over college sports. Here in Michigan, we live and breathe college sports. We tailgate on gamedays, and we keep our eyes glued to the TV during March Madness. But those special moments we cherish could change soon. Recently, the Big Ten announced an investment deal with a private, California buyer, opening the door for private equity to buy its way into college sports. We can’t sit by and let private equity fuel the ongoing realignment chaos and undermine the mission of our public universities. College sports belong to the students and the fans in Michigan, not wealthy billionaires. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
