[QUOTE="Monroeer, post: 129570349, member: 1097690"] My post is not about being for or against expansion - I really don't have an opinion on that because I am not sure how much better (or worse) expansion will do for the B12 with the likely candidates that are available. I'll let the committee figure that out with the information that they have been collecting. I only posted because there have been a lot of misinformation being dramatized about the difference in payouts of the P5 conferences - to the point that ESPN and others like to post numbers about the amounts without bothering to break the money down to what each team actually gets. By posting total money numbers for the conferences without elaborating on the fact that the B12 cuts it's pie with fewer members (hence bigger slices of pie per member) and without that darn fact about B12 members getting additional Third-Tier monies while the B10, SEC, ACC doesn't, they tend to skew the differences in a way that sounds major - when it is not. Once this has been compared more on an apples to apples level, suddenly the B12 is very close to the upper two and quite a bit ahead of the ESPN stepchildren (ACC). But then, that wouldn't fit their agenda of supporting their conferences though. [/QUOTE]
