Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 579927, member: 302"] Good thinking...the TV contracts are held for home games only...neutral games do not count necessarily as a network affiliate...they can be bid out. Now it is also possible that ESPN or Fox for example, would want Texas vs. Notre Dame; FSU vs. Oklahoma etc and be willing to pay additional for them...by making the schedule from a conference standpoint two points are achieved: 1. Better scheduling and RPI for each conference important in NC selection 2. Provides dollars which is primary reason to move from one conference to another--nothing said that these games will generate millions and millions...but we are at a point where any additional dollars help keep everyone from being less happy.
