Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1766121, member: 2524"] Reading the tea leaves. Look, the only 2-team that add that makes sense is UConn and Cincy -- if both schools are available. UH wasn't even in consideration until a few weeks ago. They add nothing market wise to the existing teams, but have value in a dissolution scenario in which Texas leaves the conference. The only reasonable reading of the shift to a 4-team add and exploit the contract provisions to cash out is that strengthening the conference with strong schools now looks impossible, and the expected outcome is departure of the strong schools at expiration of the GoR. Weak schools need conference mates post-2025 and as much revenue as possible pre-2025. They want to milk the networks while milking remains a possibility. [/QUOTE]
