Message: [QUOTE="qdawgg, post: 7718, member: 52"] If we were working on the TV climate of last year I would agree with you absolutely - the above collection of teams has more value. But your missing the fact that ESPN doesn't want to lose any programming that they have and at the same time NBC and FOX really really want to get into the college game. Between those 2 networks not only are they going to pay up for ANY conference but they are also going to force ESPN to pay more than they would typically pay in order to not lose college programming. I'm not implying that a conference of some of the Big 12 teams is optimal but if it does indeed happen the BE is going to get a very hefty new TV contract when the time comes b/c of what is happening between the networks.
