Could the P12(10) be more secure than the B12?

[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 132089267, member: 1112294"] Pitt hasn't been a blue blood in 40 plus years. PSU draws more of the Pittsburgh market than Pitt does. WVU not only brings the Charleston (501,530) Clarksburg market 228,556 (including Monongalia and Preston counties) but also the Beckley/Bluefield market (142,570) the Wheeling market (133,410) and Parkersburg (64,060). The WVU equals 1,069,826. Plus you can say WVU carries the majority of TV sets in the state of WV. Certainly there are many Pitt fans outside the city of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, Pa. But in terms of drawing cable TV revenues, it's doubtful that Pitt draws any areas that aren't already captured for the Big Ten Network (BTN) by the presence of PSU. There may be more Penn State fans inside the city of Pittsburgh than Pitt fans. The Pitt market (Minus the Monongalia and Preston counties which for some reason Pitt thinks they can claim) equals 1,036,444. So Pitt is likely further down B1G list just as much as WVU. Article from Market Size (another sports forum) These numbers have not been update to today's date so it could be up or down. [/QUOTE]
