No, totally factual.

I am not saying that ESPN can't decide that the XII is worth more money to keep it from coming apart, nor am I saying that Oklahoma can't argue that it should get that additional money because it is the one school making a disproportionate sacrifice.  All that is rational.  Highly unlikely but irrational.  It's only your holding on to the delusion that this will be accomplished by a new network where there is simply not the market to justify it that is causing the criticism.

If ESPN is willing to cough up more money just for OU, and the XII is willing to let OU take it, more power to them both.  I don't think you will see it because once that door is open conferences as we know them fall apart, and we will either move to a national superconference or to the Bamas and Michigans demanding that each school get to sell their own content, but so be it.

And, fwiw, being a UConn fans has nothing to do with your concept being stupid.  It's just as stupid if I'm a Michigan fan or an Ivy League fan or a SEC fan.  I have no idea if expansion is or was close to happening and taken very little of this babble seriously.
