Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5467405, member: 5685"] The B12 contract is not in perpetuity and is shorter than the ACC's contract. The B12 makes less money than the ACC. The B12 could easily lose what little brands they have left. Which in turn will drive their next TV contract down. The playoff format for the next 2-3 years won't be the same long term. Why in the heck would the B1G/SEC allow for the B12 and ACC to get auto bids after the B1G/SEC take the top dozen brands left in those conferences? Whatever is left over will look more like the American than the current B12 or ACC. That doesn't get you a seat at the table. You are taking today's environment and applying it long term. That doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
