The desire for more competitive football — and basketball — brands is on the rise. Selling season tickets is more critical. “Yes, TV markets are important. Yes, the financial aspect is important,” Boren said, “but our fans want to see our teams play against great teams. They don’t want to see them play mediocre teams. We have to determine what that’s going to do to the long-time reputation of the brands at each of the schools and what quality of opponents we’re having.” To me, [URL='http://www.hookem.com/story/big-12-expansion-byu-aims-conferences-pick-click/']BYU is the no-brainer[/URL] and now wouldn’t have to worry about BYUtv antagonizing the Big 12. And Houston is hot at the moment.” [/QUOTE]
