Message: [QUOTE="junglehusky, post: 1442670, member: 61"] It's geography and recruiting territory for the B12 and other factors including academics and overall athletics success are secondary. Maybe cincy will get some benefit for being consistent in football, and their geography is not as much of a detriment as it would be for UConn/Temple. Bottom line - crappy school A or B getting in the crappiest P5 league doesn't alter UConn's metrics, and shouldn't affect our long term P5 profile which was always going to be long-term anyway. In fact if I had to choose which two AAC schools to exit - obviously, other than UConn getting the golden invite, and assuming you couldn't foist Tulsa/Tulane/SMU on the b12 - I'd push for Memphis / Houston to the B12 because the AAC's current TV deal would be devalued by Cincy (or UConn) leaving. I guess having Memphis/Houston being successful and leaving would impact negotiations for the next contract as well... but we already know ESPN values Cincy and UConn. The Draft Theory of CR applies more to the B1G and hopefully the ACC. The B12 subscribes to the Warm Body Theory. [/QUOTE]
