I don't have an issue with the p6 stuff.  I agree they are trying to be the best of the rest, so to speak.  Over time with luck that translates into things like bowl bids for the 11-2 AAC champ when the MAC  vamp is 12-0.  As well as higher payouts from tv/media.  That said I get whalers view that this is more scheduling alliance than conference.  But so is the ACC really.  Anyone who thinks BC and Syracuse have anything at all in common with UNC or Clemson has probably not been to Boston, Syracuse Chapel Hill or anywhere in South Carolina
Really only the B12 and the PAC have more or less avoided that trap.  SEC and Big 10 are somewhere in the middle.

Given that situation I do agree that trying to make as many attractive games as possible is the way to go and trying to generate local resources/media coverage makes lots of sense.  I don't know if we need a huge national presence at 11:11 am on Saturday.  My thought would be that a local schedule on SNY/Nesn/3 and a National game on a Friday night plus maybe some late season pickups if we are in contention, maybe a game like Mizzou as well could work better than being on ESPN 8 or CBSSN.  And making better games and trying to build on rivalries in and out of the league makes sense too.
