Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 653213, member: 2524"] What are criteria the B1G has named: - AAU. UConn is close, Oklahoma far, far away. - Contiguous state. UConn is for all practical purposes contiguous, Oklahoma is not. - Market size. UConn and Oklahoma are equal sized states but UConn brings penetration into New York and Massachusetts. - Brand. UConn is a national basketball brand, Oklahoma a national football brand. Football is more valuable than basketball, but not by as much as people think. If Oklahoma separates from Texas, Oklahoma's football plummets. So much is based on the Red River Rivalry and access to Texas recruiting grounds. Oklahoma is more valuable in the Big XII than in the B1G, unless Texas and Kansas come with it. [/QUOTE]
