Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 4310553, member: 430"] The VPI Big East scenario is the scenario if the Pac 10 keeps shedding teams - effectively that conference is no longer viable as a major football conference and the teams remaining will be screwed. And that's where it gets political. The Big 12 / SEC movement has been a little different specific to Texas/A&M and Texas Tech and then OK and Ok St. for 1 major reason - the Big 12 is geographically in a better position to maintain integrity as a power conference by pulling teams up from the G5 - there is more at their disposal. A West Coast conference - there are very limited options at this point if the Pac 12 went down to say 6-7 teams. It's basically cherry picking from the Mountain West now that BYU is off the table. Not a lot of great options there to sell yourself for TV contracts and as a group that should be invited to the main show. [/QUOTE]
