Quote of the Day
“The point I’ll make is that every time you think about expansion, I think there’s some sort of counter-idea that it gets easier to make these decisions. It actually gets harder. More teams look alike. More teams are going to have 9-3 records and struggle in a conference road game. More teams might stumble in a conference home game. Some teams play tougher nonconference schedules.”
