[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129541723, member: 1428007"] The BIG 12 has to look at the system that exists and that is going to exist rather than try to pretend things will be as they want them to be and base their decisionmaking on that. In the real world having lots of revenue is important to having athletic success because it allows you to get and retain the best coaching, to recruit better, and to build and update facilities as needed for your fans and recruits. Revenue for athletics comes from tv networks either broadcast, your own or both and without those being at high numbers its difficult to compete at the highest levels. If you don't get positive exposure over a wide an area as possible, you aren't going to attract the best recruits, you aren't going to be as successful on the field, you aren't going to get good tv ratings and if you don't get good tv ratings, the tv partners aren't going to pay you lots of money in comparison to others. In the real world schools are rewarded by number of wins and games played, not that everyone in a conference played each other. In the real world schedule strength is determined by the schools you played and beat that were ranked--and common sense as well as data shows that if you have more teams in your conference, more teams can finish (and usually do finish) with more wins. Teams with more wins=more highly ranked teams. More highly ranked teams = the opinion of better sos. Playing everyone each year in conference?= someone is going to lose and its very difficult to not have a loss. In the real world not making the playoffs is a huge deal, and being disadvantaged to every other conference in that category is not ok. In the real world there are lots of reasons to expand and start a conference network and play a CCG and none of them have to do with the name of a school or school you might expand with, but all the value in various categories adding those schools will bring you.
