Message: [QUOTE="The Funster, post: 1538192, member: 831"] To look at UConn (as an example) as only as valuable as what it receives today as a member of the AAC is short term thinking. The kind of thinking that has left the Big 12 in the position that it is in with just 10 teams and hanging on the votes of it's peers as to how it should proceed. Instead, it could take the approach that it wants to build its conference rather than just add to it. OU has been referenced with thinking 50 or 100 years into the future. Conference building is just that as opposed to just keeping things smaller because of the payout now. Sure UConn, Cincy, Temple and either UCF or USF will dilute the per school payout now but what if, with a little planning, they could lead to a larger payout or even the conferences survival in the future? It's worth thinking about. [/QUOTE]
