My  point is that UConn is more valuable than the alternatives. If you need a CCG -- which adds revenue by itself -- then you need to take the 2 most valuable schools available.

The B12 has proven they value one thing above all - money - and UConn has a chance to deliver that.

Teams 11 and 12 don't have to add the value of the current per-team contract -- the existing teams don't do that, they are overpaid. Rather they need to maintain the per-school value of the next contract. That's not out of the question.

Whoever adds UConn will get more money out of NYC than they currently get.

Leagues don't add football programs. They add universities. They get the whole package -- football, basketball, other sports, fans, academics.

In the modern globalized era, Texas and Oklahoma aren't much more remote than Ohio and Michigan. They're a 2 hour flight away. If they play routinely in the region, Texas and Oklahoma could rival Ohio State and Michigan for NYC penetration. Heck, the Florida Gators are the most popular team in much of New England.

Now, all of this discussion is meaningless, because we're headed for the B1G. But if that weren't the case, the B12 would be foolish to pass on us.
