Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1357024, member: 2524"] These cons are really weak: (1) 40% of the time the underdog covered the spread. That means 60% of the time they didn't. You'd expect 50%. What's the con from the favorite doing better than expected? (2) $100 million split 10 ways is $10 mn, 12 ways is 8.3 mn. Is $1.7 mn decisive? When you're making a strategic decision? When every conference has found that adding more schools increases per school payouts, plus you get the benefits of a championship game? I think it is really about power. It probably has something to do with how large a coalition it takes to change the B12 bylaws. [/QUOTE]
