[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 129502294, member: 1476506"] It's not just the round robin to me. It's the schools in the round robin. There are no baaaad football opponents (except Kansas-they invented basketball what do you expect), and the opponents and games are awesome. Everybody has a good fanbase in football (except Kansas-see above reasoning). Why mess with that? Especially for something that guarantees no long term future? Season tickets have never been a better value. Cincinnati isn't the top college football draw in their own city (tOSU is), same with Memphis (a few SEC schools are above them, Tennessee, Ole Miss, & Miss State, etc), the Directional Florida schools (both Florida and FSU are the bigger draws in Tampa & Orlando), and Good Lord forbid the women's basketball school UConn (nobody there even cares about college football. The fall is Sox vs Yanks time). BYU-yes, but they won't play on Sunday. You don't build a good to great conference with just more quantity. The quality and similar culture has to be there. [/QUOTE]
