Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 1381971, member: 2920"] I've had the same brief thought. If the B12 added UConn and BYU, those are, BY FAR, the two biggest brands left outside of the G5. Throw in UCF (good FL market+ FL recruiting) and Cincinnati (decent market + OH recruiting) and now you have exposure in very large markets: NYC (UConn), Orlando/Tampa (UCF), all of Texas/Oklahoma. Throw in national appeal of BYU and a bit of the Ohio/western PA/Washington DC corridor from a WVU/Cinci combo and you have enough markets and content that can stretch over 3 timezones. Heck, they could make it clean and add 2 more like Houston/Temple and Boise St and now you'd have even more markets and more football appeal. Plus, with UConn and Kansas anchoring the winter months, year-round content that fans all across the country can (and will actually want to) watch. But that assumes that the B12 has removed their heads out of their rumps. That's a mighty strong assumption. [/QUOTE]
