Well if this is all about grabbing TV markets and nothing else, then what you're saying is the future of college sports is one where a school's relevancy is going to be dictated by the market they're in (which I find disturbing). And if that's the case, why has the Big 10 courted Notre Dame in the past? What market do they deliver that isn't already covered by the Big 10?
