End game: P5 gonna P5.

There must be some odd factors we're not aware of, otherwise how can one explain Rutgers.

Eyeballs: 9 million people live in New Jersey.

 

[shizzle787]

The post I responded to said that one of the compromises would be to drop one league game and schedule a tougher OOC.

They were dropping a proposed championship game, not a regular conference game.

[whaler11]

If the Big 12 finally figured out their problem is their OOC schedules and not the lack of a championship game... I'm almost impressed.

Just when momentum for UConn is building expansion potential wanes.

That would be a shock. Everyone else has 8 conference games because it maximizes home games. If they decide to go 9 conference plus upgraded OOC, that would take huge money out of their pockets, and negate any benefits of not having a CG.

Any attempt to upgrade the OOC while also playing 9 conference games will naturally mean fewer home games, which is highly doubtful.

If they can make the financials work by adding 2 teams, the big 12 would be better served by going going to 2 divisions of 6 and going to 8 conference games and strengthening their ooc schedules.

Yes, exactly. That's what I'm saying.

Just some simple math here.

If you schedule more than 1 P5 OOC game, that means you only get one home game per year against P5 OOC. Then you schedule a scrub for a home game. That's 2 home games OOC.

But in seasons when you have only 4 conference homes games, that gives you a total of 6 games for that year. Every other P5 team has at least 7 home games, some of them have more.

Currently, the B12 has the same deal. 2 scrubs + 5 home games = 7. Or 2 scrubs + 4 home games + 1 P5 OOC = 7.

The Big10 is going to 9 conference games starting in 2016.

Yes, I know that very well. The point is 2 tough OOC games + 9 games.

The B1G is not going to schedule 2 tough OOC games. The B1G will play a MAC and they'll make sure that some other team is traveling for a road game each year. In other words, the B1G will make damn sure that they'll have 7 home games a year at the very least if not more. The B12 can't do that by doing 2 home-and-homes OOC each year.

Put it this way, are Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan going to give up proceeds from 100k tickets sold? I don't think so.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Not to fan fake flames, but recall that B12 teams keep T3 rights...perhaps Tranghese is consulting on the value of those rights?

[DarthGrumpy]

B12 must match 2 highest ranked schools.

That should be a lot of fun and make for a lot of good-natured craziness in the polls, LOL.

Let's see how log the XII follows this. My guess, the year an undefeated Oklahoma is #1 in the XII followed by a 1 loss TCU/Baylor/OK St, etc. and then a 1 loss U Texas. Somehow, some way, that lower ranked Long Horns team will be in their 'championship.'

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh Funny too that the ACC is an athletic conference not a quiz bowl conference.

Stuart Waugh@sg2waugh
@theDudeofWV Your ignorance is amazing. That is why Rutgers & Maryland in B1G, A&M and Missouri picked by SEC

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh What? I know why UMD is in the B1G. The ACC is a basketball conference in a football world.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh The same forces that drove UMD and RU to the B1G could mean the ACC suffers significant losses in the next round.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh Because the TV markets delivered by UNC, UVA, GT are far more valuable to OU's TV market.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh None of those moves were made to improve football - they were made to add markets. Designated market areas as defined by Nielsen.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh So let's say you are the B1G or SEC. You want more revenue. Who do you add? A power program with a medium market?

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh Or do you add the largest marked with the most cable households to secure the highest carriage fees possible?

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh Texas has turned down the B1G, the ACC and the Pac 12 in the past 2 years. OU isn't AAU which means the B1G isn't interested.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh The SEC already has TAMU so adding Texas would be market duplication. The same reason why they will not add FSU or Clemson.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh Since neither FSU or Clemson are AAU do you expect them to leave for the Pac 12?

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh And the Big Ten is also on record saying AAU membership is a requirement for future members. Both UMD and RU are members.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh So are UVA, UNC, GT & Duke.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh Why? Because the Big Ten is on record wanting UVA, UNC, Duke & GT. It's not conjecture. It's a statement.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh And the SEC wants schools from Virginia and NC for SECN.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh I will also point out to you that current Clemson president Jim Clements was at WVU previously. He knows the score.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh And Clements has a strong dislike for the ACC as a conference.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh So the odds are greater that it's the ACC that is drastically changed by 2025 and not the Big 12.

Christopher Lambert@thedudeofwv
@sg2waugh It royally pisses me off when someone like you with a peripheral understanding of expansion, asserts fiction is indeed fact.

[dayooper]

Yes, I know that very well. The point is 2 tough OOC games + 9 games.

The B1G is not going to schedule 2 tough OOC games. The B1G will play a MAC and they'll make sure that some other team is traveling for a road game each year. In other words, the B1G will make damn sure that they'll have 7 home games a year at the very least if not more. The B12 can't do that by doing 2 home-and-homes OOC each year.

Put it this way, are Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan going to give up proceeds from 100k tickets sold? I don't think so.

Of course they are going to have 7 home games per year, doesn't mean they won't schedule home and homes. We have already scheduled quite a few home and homes with P5 schools. In fact, in 2020, we are at Washington and home vs VT. In 2021, we are at home vs Washington and play at VT. One of those years we can only have 6 home games. Now that could have been a Dave Brandon special, but it does happen.

Yes, right, but given what the B12 is saying, it wouldn't happen just once in a blue moon. It would happen every other year. I don't see Texas agreeing to that. Do you?

The TV package is all well and good, but the money lost from an extra home game dwarfs any losses from extra members. If there are any losses at all from extra members.
