Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4879067, member: 2196"] but the schools they are keeping still can’t compete either unless they drop down to 12 schools!!! And what do they get from keeping Coastal Carolina or James Madison away from their league? They can’t schedule them and they have to schedule more games against like opponents? But even today, the SEC refuses to play 9 conference games and schedule these sisters of the poor schools instead. If they want more money they have to schedule better games. They can do the same exact thing today and they won’t. So I’m not sure what they achieve from leaving these other teams behind. The money is still tied to the conference media deals. These coastal Carolina’s and James Madison playing in the same division do nothing to increase or decrease the schools monetary values. Only way money increases is if they break off and end conference affiliation and negotiate one contract like the NFL. [/QUOTE]
