[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131700172, member: 1476288"] The model BIG12 deploys is one of the more profitable for Universities, I dont think programs are dying to leave it or form a new structure. WVU is far better in the BIG12 then in the ACC. More Profitable and its uniqueness offers a sales pitch for the staff when recruiting, it def gives us an edge when recruiting the East Coast... Id rather have a unique marketable factor then just be one of the many in a conference that exudes mediocrity. If anything, I hope the BIG12 expands... Adding 2 or 4 teams. If it only adds 2 it could still keep its round robin, however I think they shoot for 4 so they can break it up into 2 divisions. Nebraska Colorado Arizona or Arizona St Houston Boise St Perhaps Iowa, Arkansas, Utah or ND I would think these may be the programs that may be interested. Nebraska & Iowa def did not seem very happy with the BIG10's management or policies the past year, and stood apart from all other BIG10 programs.. In some ways, in many ways, I think whoever may show an interest in joining the BIG12, part of that justification may be......... political. Obviously the $$$ & other benefits have to be right, but when analyzing programs that are more closely aligned, Im looking for programs that may not share their conference's perspectives. The BIG12 & SEC are the more "conservative" conferences, while ACC BIG10 & PAC12 are def more liberal... While all colleges are more liberal these days, there are some "fish out of water" scenarios... Hypothetically, lets say: Nebraska, Utah, Arkansas, & Arizona Join: How best to divide the conference into two divisions?? Out of those 14 teams, You would play 6 division games, 3 cross division games & 3 Out of Conference. Should the NCAA select a 12 team playoff, I really hope they require ALL programs to play at least 10 P5 opponents. This would increase cross conference games, making the rankings more accurate, more profitable, and more entertaining for NCAAF fans... [/QUOTE]
