Yes, I am aware of the economics of adding them. They may add incremental dollars. But I'm trying to understand why a football conference that only cares about football would want to dilute it's football brand by adding 2 crappy football programs. Just for money? You would agree it's a very odd strategy no?
"Basketball doesn't matter!"
So why are you adding basketball schools? "Because we want to be the best in basketball, dammit!"
