Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 528418, member: 837"] Yeah, but it's not simply travel or travel versus whatever the BE ends up being. My point is that the whole conference expansion process disregards travel in general. So if, by some crazy scenario like bland ratings not producing nearly the ad revenue networks are forecasting, then sending every sport not named football all over the coast or across the country suddenly begins to look even more absurd. But you're right -- travel is somewhat minimal compared to other expenditures. We haven't seen the last of increasing coaching salaries, however, and the facilities arms race isn't going to stop as long as the money comes in. So as much as you're making, you have to figure on spending a huge chunk of it to keep up. [/QUOTE]
