Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 293487, member: 19"] I wouldn't really call it a plan. I would call it a trend. If it were a plan, this all would have happened quicker and we'd probably be done by now. If it were a plan, the Big 12 wouldn't lose 4 teams, and then suddenly have everyone thinking they were in the driver's seat to be one of the last 4 standing. The trend was that the rich would continue to want to get richer, and that they wouldn't want to share it with anyone. And from there, people not directly involved with the process, but highly interested in its results, started pulling out calculators and tried to figure out which #s of leagues and teams made the most sense because it didn't have decimal places. If we ever get to 4 X 16, you'll never convince me it was part of a master plan. More than it was something that was talked about so much by the semi-media, that the Presidents and ADs figured that was the acceptable round #'s they'd be stuck sharing their gold with. [/QUOTE]
