[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131752652, member: 1428007"] The simple fact of adding inventory would have to be additive to conferences. With schools having all games controlled by the conference that leaves around 6-7 added football games and numerous basketball games per year from just one school. In a 9 game conference schedule, You'd have 2 OOC home games and then 4 or 5 home conference games added. They'd come in at least pro rata for that conference. But there could also be more value when you look at tv ratings. i.e. WVU finished ahead of every ACC squad 2015-2019 outside of Clemson, Miami, FSU. In the B10, WVU had more viewers than Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota, Maryland, Purdue, Illinois, Rutgers--half of that conference. And of course leagues like the B10 have buy in periods too (Maryland and Rutgers still not at full payments). Adding BIG 12 schools would also add real FANS to any league as well--many who previously would not watch Big Ten, PAC, ACC, SEC games. [/QUOTE]
