[QUOTE="Mountaineer Steve, post: 129481916, member: 1495432"] There is going to be less not more money upon expansion. Yes it has been stated that TV $$ will stay the same with expansion. That same money includes having a CCG. With TV and Stadium rights the upcoming CCG with 10 teams is going to bring in 3-4 million more per school. Big12 gets to split playoff money 10 ways instead of 12 or 14, that is another 1 to 1.5 million PER team. Expansion is not going to happen unless you include a BIG12 network and the LHN is not the only obstacle in the way. Each school has its own third tier contract each with a different end date and different partner. It might be possible to buy these contracts out, but it won't be cheap. This will keep the network from making a profit for several years and will see reduced payout during this period. Rematch PAC12 had a rematch this past year and is is more likely to have a rematch each year, yet you don't hear anyone bitching about that summation You and I both know if there were enough votes for expansion it would have happened already. It is obvious why Texas does not want to expand, I would like to know why least 2 other programs are not interested. BIG12 should plan for expansion but do so to coincide with new TV deal and expiration of 3rd tier contracts. [/QUOTE]
