If a better TV deal was "in the bag" as some seem to feel, then why did they need to hire a TV guy to head the Conference? You don't call a plumber when there aren't any problems with your plumbing. This, if anything, is a strong indication that Revenue is their biggest problem. Because the guy's is going to suck at other critical parts of that job ... like having credibility with the University presidents and ADs.
 
Who knows what the future will hold. It's just that the NNBE walks like, smells like, and in so many other ways resembles C-USA. It's a grab-bag of left-over programs from conference expansion. And the history of C-USA and other efforts (Metro?) seems so clear.
 
If TV networks are driven by whatever forces to pay a huge amount for that then they are dumber than they look. If I'm a TV exec, I'm not staking my career on paying a lot of money for Louisville, or Cincinnati, or SMU or Houston and hoping the thing catches fire.
