[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129469947, member: 1428007"] He is wrong because he--and apparently you-are claiming that if the BIG 12 gets a deregulation vote, they will not expand. The conference has not said this. If deregulation passes, it isn't ending expansion at all --because playing a 10 team CCG simply guarantees a rematch which no one thinks is a good idea. Deregulation also makes possible adding teams but not forming divisions in doing so--something that could be a sticking point in BIG 12 expansion. Deregulation simply provides options not available now to the conference. If deregulation happens--the BIG 12 may choose to do nothing. They may choose to play a 10 team CCG. They may choose to expand and utilize deregulation to organize their league and championships as they see best suits their conference-as it should be. Delaney isn't trying to stop conferences from being able to play a CCG--he is specifically trying to stop the conferences from being able to forego divisions in selecting their champions. Delaney doesn't want the ACC getting rid of divisions and just having the two best teams play, or the BIG 12 expanding and doing so without forming divisions--which of course makes expansion more palatable to those that don't really want to do it-or those that might consider joining the league.
