[QUOTE="Butler-eer, post: 132079319, member: 1661089"] Adding those 4 ..... or any 2 or 4 may not give added value at this time. We don't know what the current value of the B12 is without OUT. We can only make a calculated guess at best. BUT..... not adding any teams leaves the conference in a vulnerable position. It puts them down on the par with the PAC and maybe even lower than the ACC. Adding teams broadens the markets. Adds inventory. Secures the conference in a way that teams would not want to move to the PAC because we depleted their value significantly. This makes the B12 more stable for the long run. Not nearly SEC or B1G stable, but significantly better than the PAC and most likely the ACC. ACC is vulnerable because both SEC and B1G are looking to pick off a number of their programs. Picking from the B12 is done. Couple of teams bolt from the ACC and the B12 may have a chance to snatch a few Eastern market teams. IMO if Yormark plays his cards right the P5 will become P5a -- SEC, B1G, P5b -- B12, P5c -- PAC, ACC. [/QUOTE]
