Message: [QUOTE="NYUConn, post: 1731360, member: 6274"] The only way we legitimately have a shot is if the Big 12 decides that eastern expansion is the only rationale for expanding. Even then, without the hope of adding a network, you're expanding east to 1) Throw West Virginia a life raft, 2) have more EST content 3) potentially tap into new, stronger markets Of all those reasons 3 is the most compelling as the eyeballs UConn brings in the HFD/NH and NYC DMA's could increase ratings, thus drive more advertising dollars the Big 12's way, but unfortunately with the absence of a network we're only talking a couple million a year possibly and may not be enough to offset travelling expenses the rest of the Big 12 would incur by making multiple trips east.
