Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 1704646, member: 271"] Not really, the network would make more money for everyone or it wouldn't come to fruition. The thing you need to understand from our perspective is that aside from Texas, Oklahoma and maybe Kansas, there are no schools in the Big 12 that bring any real value to a network. UConn on the other hand, brings tons of value to a network and we know it to be true because of our contract with SNY. This whole thing really comes down to how serious the Big 12 is about getting a network. UConn and BYU probably make the most sense if that is the goal. I'm not sure if Cincinnati can pull enough weight economically, due to being in Ohio State's shadow, but I could be wrong. To your point, we can pull our own weight. The problem is 7-8 of the Big 12 schools can't. Those schools should see the value in expansion, especially with a program in a major market with no competition and a national brand, basketball or not. [/QUOTE]
