Message: [QUOTE="ACCBballFan, post: 32079, member: 1278"] In that every two year scenario, it could take 3-4 years before Cuse plays some of these ACC-South teams at home. Same for some of these teams ever hosting Pitt or Cuse. BE even bigger at 16 did not go that route and I do not think ACC at 14 would either for Bball, though it makes more sense for football. On the B12 remaining more financially viable than BE, that's pretty safe. Even if BE retains all its teams, the B12 median is 521K TV share and the 7 team average with TCU is 548K. Though annexing the service academies would help BE on stability front, it would also be dilutive as all 3 are smaller than BE's smallest market UL (300). Air Force TV share is 214K, Navy 237K and Army 198K to bring the 10 team BE average down to 448K, and median down to 323K-374K, which is smaller than every B12 market except Baylor (210K), and also K-State on one of the two metrics (428K).
