What happens to OU and the Big 12?

[Sooner Quick]

One can easily identify the intelligence and maturity level of an individual by the types of statements they consider insulting. Are you going to call me a girl next quickie?

No....I think I call you BANNED!

much of the talk about the SEC is most unlikely. The contract SEC and television is for 11.0 M per team per year for the next 15 years. The Big 12 is about 8.0 m per team subject to renegotiation. If one looks at the intake for TEXAS 130 M per year. There is almost no attraction for Texas for the SEC and very little for OU.

Also schedules of 16 teams or 14 teams offer significant difficulties. The Big East in basket ball has a 16 team league. Each team plays one another 1 time and one game is played home and away. In football it would be dreadful = each year 7 games in a division and one game in the other division. this would mean match ups such as Ga and Auburn or Tenn and Alabama would occurr twice every 16 years , rather that twice every four years.

Simply put it is not going to occurr. The Big ten because of symmetry may add one team. IT would result in two rather unequal divisions - Ind, Purdue, Ill , Northwestern , Iowa and whoever. but 12 is a more convenient number than 11. One question is how much more would Mo and/or Neb add to the contract. - 44 million, I doubt it , 22 with Mo possible but unlikely.

A contract with the West coast two games each week per station a B -12 game followed by a PC game makes more since.

You need to quit thinking in terms of sports. This is money and has nothing to do with the quality of sports programs or the balance of schedule.

I agree with everything you said.

From Ivan Maisel of ESPN

By Ivan Maisel. One thing to keep in mind as you consider your fantasy draft for the Big Ten and the Pac-10: Whichever schools are invited have to be able to bring financial value equal to what the league members get now. Big Ten schools get $22 million apiece in their current TV contract. Are there three schools out there that can bring $66 million with them? Five schools worth $110 million. If not, why would the Big Ten members expand if their slice of the pie gets smaller?

He makes a good point. Can Missouri add at least 22 million in TV revenue? If not, Missouri gets more money, but every other Big Ten team loses money. How does the Big Ten benefit by adding Mizzou? Wouldn't it make more sense just to seek a waiver to the 12 team requirement for a Championship rule? They could add more revenue without adding any more teams.
