Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 577892, member: 780"] Answer to that question is easy. How much leverage does the school have? Are they in a conference they like today? Are their athletic department books balanced or are they bleeding red ink? Are they going to have to sell this conference switching to a skeptical alumni and/or fan base? How bad does the B1G want or need them? The price for a school like UNC is going to be a lot higher than for those without a good choice. How hard do you think UConn would negotiate right now? It's the difference between having a flat on a family trip and having to buy a tire on the Thruway versus shopping for a tire without an immediate need on a street with 10 competing tire dealers. Think there's any difference in the price you'll pay on the Thruway? [/QUOTE]
