Message: [QUOTE="SAMCRO, post: 1437033, member: 543"] Because of the LHN and UT's strangle hold on the B12, that conference really did miss a great opportunity to add teams which would have absolutely stabilized the league, improved FB and BB, and locked them in for a long time with a very competitive TV deal. When A&M and Mizzou left they should have grabbed TCU, WVU, Pitt, UL, UC, and one of UCF/USF to get to 14. If they wanted to go to 16, then add UH and CSU. This gets them into some good TV markets (Orlando predominantly), gets their recruiting a bigger advantage in FL, PA, and OH, gets average to great FB, and some bad to great BB programs. Likewise, if ACC really wanted to lock down the best TV deal and the NYC market they should have gone all in on SU, RU, UConn, WVU, UL, and Pitt to go to 16. It keeps the B1G out of NY/NE, gets you solid FB for the most part, unquestionably the greatest BB league ever imagined, and a kick arse TV deal. Oh well..... [/QUOTE]
