Message: [QUOTE="sufan, post: 165713, member: 262"] ------------------- The Big 12 currently is an extremely close knit regional conference, with 6 teams in Texas/OK and 2 in Kansas, 1 in Iowa. They did very well this year in football and in their TV deals by not losing big dollars. I really question the assumption that UL or Cincinnati are great adds in terms of football competition, TV dollars or where they want to play their non-football sports compared to the benefits of staying regional at 10. Congratulations to WVU but they are/will be as isolated in the Big 12 (at 10) as BC was in the 2003 ACC. Good news for the Big East in that it gives them time to add their new teams and see what TV deal they can get. [/QUOTE]
