It's only a matter of time when the SEC and B1G get their way with expanding the tournament, and structuring payouts that benefit them at the expense of smaller conferences.

I doubt that the 12 will make a move for UConn until the ACC lawsuit is finished.

Once the bigger fish, FSU, Clemson, and others move to the bigger conferences, the 12 will pick up and remaining pieces of the ACC. There's been a lot pressure on commissioner Yormark to brab the last remaining PAC 12 teams, Washington State and Oregon State, from form 12 schools.

I don't know how much room to grow the 12 conference has. It seems as though the law of diminishing returns is at play as you can't give 20 plus teams $30 plus million a year, but since two conferences will be dead, it's just moving money from Peter to pay Paul.

I think the SEC and B1G will siphon off any money away from the Big 12.

As I said in another post, if Yormark was smart, he should make a deal with all the smaller conferences, form their own league, have their own bowls and have them all agree not to play any games against the SEC and B1G. The big two need to schedule games, they can just play each other.

IMO, this would crush the big two.
