[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129445601, member: 1428007"] It wouldn't seem possible for the BIG 12 to implement a CCG on the spur of the moment. There would have been huge logistics and monetary issues to work out. It's not something that could happen in a week or two successfully. For example, you couldn't tell ESPN or Fox " well we are going to wait until the last weekend to decide if next week we'll need a time slot for a CCG, all the production resources to hold one and put it on tv, and get those tens of millions ready to pay us in case we want to hold one". There wouldn't have been a way to hold multiple stadiums, for fans to get flights, cars or hotels, or for vendors to have food, beverage and goods ready for 50-100,000 people on extreme short notice. The BIG 12 was never going to do that. They would like the change to be able to select who they wanted as their top two teams and to go without divisions in the selection of those two teams- and in the case of expansion go without divisions. The ACC wanted to be able to select whoever they wanted to play in their CCG as their two top teams and also make schedules as they pleased to placate their top schools. Why should that matter to the Big Ten? After all they could do the exact same thing if it passed as is-it's not as though the other conferences would be able to do something they couldn't. They simply want to do everything possible to destabilize the BIG 12 and ACC. They don't want those conferences doing anything to improve their playoff position. They don't want those conferences being able to improve their position in expansion ( I.e it might be an easier sell to get ND into the ACC if they didn't have to be in a particular division or play certain schools each year). It's a power play for the Big Ten and also their kissing cousins the PAC 12 who now find themselves out of the playoffs ( interesting isn't it that the media is not proclaiming the PAC 12 doomed or needing massive change for missing out this year? And where is the anti PAC 12 message board chatter as the BIG 12 dealt with?). Bowlsby said the other day- they want us to have divisions and a CCG and I'd like them to play a round robin schedule- and he is spot on about that. [/QUOTE]
