What value would a new member bring to the conference?
Neinas' response: “Our television partners agreed that the only new member that would enhance the Big 12 value for television was Notre Dame.”
This blurb says that the B12 was told the only team that would warrant more money is ND. If you read between the lines that means that even if they added FSU/Clemson the pot remains the same and simply gets divided between extra teams.
Looks like ND has played their game of chicken well and brought this round of expansion to a sudden halt.
