However, he of course wants it to go East.  Not good for us. sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/wvu-ad-in-favor-of-big-12-expansion-if--right--teams-132435050.htmlWhat we really need to have happen is the ACC poach WVU to get to an even 16 (including Notre Dame). Not only does that open yet another spot in the B12 for us, but it eliminates the B12's necessity of having to expand East. They might still go that way, but at least they don't NEED to go that way and hopefully they'd look out West for 2 teams (SDSU & BYU) and then pick up a school like Memphis which is regionally close to their existing schools and makes the number of conference schools 12. |

I still believe the B12 is more likely to add 4 (or even 6 teams) than adding just 2. 2 isn't going to have a significant impact on their footprint, thus making them significantly more attractive as a conference.
What this interview does show is there definitely are schools willing to expand, and realize that presenting a larger B12 is attractive to their media partners.

What does the Big 12 do when Texas and Oklahoma are poached by the SEC?

I don't see anything happening until the big 12 media deal gets close to expiring.

Of course they do, they want to reduce travel and have a regional rival. They used to play Pitt in the backyard brawl, Syracuse and VA Tech - all now live in the ACC. |

Believe TV networks have contracts that are there for at least a few years . is it until 2024 ? As the AD knows unless the extra MONEY is provided by the TV networks , at least 25 million per team, very doubtful B12 is going expand unless additional money is there. . The commissioner has gotten it so 10 team conference is ok with the playoff group . Every time a team is added the slice of the revenue pie is reduced . B12 Income went from 200 million for the B12 to 225 or 250 last year . So do the math on 1/10 , compared to 1/12 , 1/14 or 1/16 . At 250 million - with 10 teams gets you 25 million per school, 16 teams about 15 million . So unless TV kicks in money why would B12 expand. TV networks want B12 to get into the playoffs , more then expand , quality over quantity . What TV Networks want are schools with better TV Money markets . TV networks provide the Money , so they have leverage .
Also believe there is a decent fee for a team to leave a conference . Money they pay to leave and money earned from the past year could also be forfeited . Money is driving force

What does the Big 12 do when Texas and Oklahoma are poached by the SEC? Or by the PAC, didn't the PAC make an attempt to pull OSU, OU, UT and a Texas Tech into the fold a few years ago. |

Money issues are the driving forces in college football . how much does it cost to leave B12 ? Isn't there more money if the playoffs expand then if the B12 expands . Most fans of the colleges are getting tired of adding schools , they do not get to play their natural rivals as often . Adding teams drops your % of the revenue unless TV adds a lot of money at least 25 million per team . there is a TV deal in place for B12 that lasts at least until 2020 or beyond . So instead of following the wants of the WVU AD , follow the TV money.
