[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131735338, member: 1428007"] Looking back to the last realignment, we see that valuations of schools were all over the place, while for some reason now we are told i.e. the remaining members have no value. Remember when Pitt and SU moved from the BE to the ACC? Not only did their revenues more than DOUBLE, but each and every ACC school got about $5 million more. The SEC--got a network and then an upgraded revenues for adding then mediocre A&M and very mediocre Missouri. Both schools dramatically improved both their and the conferences revenues. Rutgers and Maryland similarly dramatically shot up the Big Ten rights as soon as they got to a renegotiation. Utah was a G5 program and Colorado hasn't been much for decades--yet at the time the PAC's revenues increased to what were the highest payouts of any conference when they got their new deal. So really the networks determine who has value and who doesn't. BIG 12 ratings don't show no value--the BIG 12 schools consistently rated above the PAC and ACC schools outside of Clemson for years on end--now all of a sudden they are worth a quarter of that because i.e. OK State doesn't play 1 game against OU or UT?
