Message: [QUOTE="Lou_C, post: 1904042, member: 3201"] From what it sounds like to me, as soon as the option for 8+1 was available, 8+2 came right off the table. Since anyone can schedule 2 if they want, but I'm sure that some would like the option to play locally or traditionally relevant G5 on occasion, or might just find themselves in a crunch one year. It doesn't sound like the $500k came in to play much at all...it doesn't sound like anyone was "Why not commit to a 2nd game to pocket the extra cash?" Which is probably good...you should be doing what you think is best for the conference and you institution, and $500k a year would be small change to sell out what you think are your best interests. At least I haven't heard anyone say there was strong favor to take the $500k for the 2nd P5 game. As soon as the option was available, this became a straight up 8 vs 9, and fell out like it always has, a narrow majority for 8. [/QUOTE]
