[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129489020, member: 1428007"] The bottom line of this debate is what are some trying to accomplish here? If the BIG 12 accomplishes Boren's comprehensive plan-- The conference adds a championship game that pits two of the top teams against one another, it doesn't guarantee a rematch. The conference will take away its current disadvantage to the other P5s and be in the same place starting and ending a season as everyone else. Rather than having to wait to see if someone else loses, BIG 12 schools will determine if they make it by winning. No one else will get a boost in the committee's voitng that the BIG 12 doesn't also get. The schools of the BIG 12 have the same chance as the other conferences to have more highly ranked teams at seasons end because they won't all have knocked one another off during the season. The conference creates a network--probably including some future distribution technologies -so that as the cable model changes, the network will shift to a new model as well. A network will provide more revenues for more members and also provide 24-7 promotion of each university itself across a much wider distribution than available now individually. More recruits will be exposed to the BIG 12 with added recruiting areas. More fans will be added to the conference as will more viewers of BIG 12 content. All BIG 12 schools will earn more money. In the next round of tv contract negotiations the conference will be in good position to improve its contract so that on a per school basis BIG 12 schools don't lose financial standing to anyone (being behind others destabilizes the conference) The league's membership will be stabilized long term. As other leagues contracts run out a couple of years after the BIG 12 is renewed, attracting other new members becomes possible if the BIG 12 membership wants to grow further. If the BIG 12 fails to adopt Boren's plan-- The conference may or may not enact a "dangerous" CCG with 10 teams that guarantees a rematch. That guaranteed rematch guarantees a loss to one of the top two teams and could knock the BIG 12 out of the playoffs on a higher percentage than not having a 13th "data point". It may also knock out an extra NY6 bowl appearance. Each playoff miss is worth $6 million. Each NY6 miss is worth $4 million. The "psychological disadvantage" will continue with negative press, the "smaller is weaker" mantra continuing in the press and blogs--all of which leads to nothing good for the BIG 12. TV ratings will not be improved. The conference will continue to have a tiny footprint compared to other conferences. BIG 12 schools will fall behind the SEC and Big Ten schools in per school payouts for media rights--and after 2025 this may include Texas and Oklahoma. This is because right now things are structured to ensure the top paid schools are ok up to 2025. After that the Big Ten's new contract will continue to gradually escalate payouts through its new term and the SEC already has their rights locked up and growing through 2036. The BIG 12 will have to try to renegotiate tv contracts in 2024--but may find that very difficult because if no changes are made, there isn't anything new to sell tv networks on giving increases (which may be difficult at that time anyway due to the changes with the cable model). Lack of athletic success against other conferences, probably many years out of playoffs, drop off in recruiting and fans, stagnant or declining tv viewers does not = more money in the next contract. Oklahoma will be looking around as soon as they know positive changes won't be made. Safe bet they will depart as soon as its financially viable to do so. Their departure will mean other departures and will devastate the conference. This is why its necessary for the leaders of the 10 schools to sit down and scientifically evaluate expansion, a conference network and comprehensive improvement rather than listening to the destructive emotional voices (frankly some of which are probably paid shills for another conference or with an anti BIG 12 agenda). There are pros and cons of course to everything. Which pros and cons are better for everyone is the question they need to answer. [/QUOTE]
