[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132075736, member: 1428007"] Some are trying to push the eradication of three conferences worth of schools to benefit the SEC and B10, but most of those conferences are made up of programs no more qualified than schools proposed to be left behind. it doesn’t make sense- it will create the end of college sports, not the success of just two conferences. Why do I care about the success of ie Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Arkansas, Purdue, Minnesota, Iowa, Northwestern, etc? Especially if their success is achieved only by destroying a program or programs I follow? The snot nosed “ upper echelon” lucky enough to have been pushed as the tops by networks feel they are too good to associate with certain schools and networks don’t want to pay for the product they receive, but even they know if they push everyone else down, then eventually the entire thing is done. They’ll try to pack the “ undesirables” into one conference with the SEC and B10 getting most coverage— but the other schools MUST be included for both voting power and keeping out politicians from blowing up the master plan. So it’s doubtful an only B10 SEC playoff will happen. Media rights are also unknown. Lots of new players in the arena that the old players want to shut down but aren’t likely to do— because the new players have more revenues and also have platforms to air live sports. [/QUOTE]
