[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129591091, member: 1428007"] You haven't seen any of the leagues data because they never released any other than some CCG info. I have shown exactly how its possible for the existing members to make more money per school and OUs president just stated that YES in fact the existing schools WILL make more money. Has he not seen the consultants reports according to you? You have an agenda and don't want expansion. Therefore nothing anyone does or says matters--if it doesn't fit the agenda you ignore it. The consultants haven't said anything whatsoever about candidates not being valuable or expansion causing existing members to lose money. You just made that up out of your @$$. The only thing the conference has said is that due to "the market" they won't have a network, and that they voted to have a CCG because they decided the boost to their playoff chances was too much to leave things as they are now. Comprehensive improvements wasn't asking for the impossible, it was intelligent planning to solve the issues facing the membership all at once. Expand to increase the footprint and markets and inventory, create a network that would have given not only significant revenues to existing members to put them on par with their peers long term, but also deliver positive exposure across the country to the existing members that would reap strong benefits in attracting viewers and recruits and new fans and students, and add a CCG with at least 12 teams that would have both delivered money and helped the league be successful. These would have benefitted the entire membership long term by bringing all members up to the same media rights levels instead of one or two being ok and the rest rapidly falling behind. The LHN going away in place of a conference wide network would not have delivered a "marginal" gain--it would have delivered and exceptional gain for the entire membership of several million per member. The "marginal" gain is what can be had now if they still went ahead and expanded without a network. Try to keep up. [/QUOTE]
