When the tv deals the Big 12 has in place begin to lose value you will be right. We'll wait on that. |

CBS stated that MU adds no value for their TV deal and nothing negative has happened to the Big 12 since their departure. The rivalry aspect with Kansas was rough in the beginning but is being quickly forgotten. UT-A&M, Syracuse-UCONN, etc are all experiencing the same things. |

KU needs a stage for its basketball program. Don't get me wrong, we really want a competitive football program again, but mostly we need a stage for our basketball program and now the B12 gives that to us without the fear of not getting well paid for it like other top conferences. That was the only real fear for KU the first time around. We wouldn't be able to maintain our standard without a top conference to showcase it in. TCU/WVU - A&M/MU; doesn't matter much to us, we're still going to be one of the top basketball schools with chances to compete for national titles thanks to the current format. Hopefully, in that same time period, Weis can get our football program back to respectability. If instability comes again, I'm actually much more secure we'll find a happy home (hopefully the one we're already in) than when the first wave came around.

I see what you're saying, but Fox dictated we replace them with WVU who is a nightmare travel situation, a crappy school, with no history among the membership. Fox was essentially saying: "Ok, Mizzou is gone so we'll pick a comparable school for you" and WVU was it. We are a bit lucky they were available because the other options really sucked.

CBS got no new inventory. They only got a slightly larger pool from which to pluck out the same amount of inventory as they had before. When you're talking about the SEC, they are already at max value in terms of matchups with national appeal. In that regard, adding USC and Ohio State wouldn't have mattered.

Saul Good. Bringing the common sense. Others grasping at straws.

No. They simply aren't focusing on increasing the payout from CBS. Mizzou and aTm added more programming, but CBS doesn't get additional content.

What you're going to hear from SEC people is the attempt to get the SEC Network up and running. However the states in the south that will be the primary "subscribers" of this network simply don't have big populations and/or large valuable viewing audiences to advertisers. This is why the Big 10 network works.
The nation loves games like Alabama-Florida. LSU-Georgia, etc. But all those games get onto national TV anyway. We'll see how much "value" the SEC Network ends up having but I really don't see large cities across America being interested in Ole Miss volleyball. In the south they will watch anything. But how many cable TV's are there down there? That's why they will keep expanding. But they'll never have the footprint of the Big 10. They have a better product but less people who care. |

When you say that the Big 12 is strong from top to bottom, what you really mean is the teams near the bottom of the Big 12 had better records than teams near the bottom of other conferences. It's true, but nobody cares.
