Not necessarily. If the team being brought in brings in a new media market, that increases revenue. Overall pie gets bigger, and odds are, the incremental increase will offset the additional team.

You do realize, Scott, that all that extra money has translated into better facilities, weight rooms, more to spend on better coaches. I would argue that those things, fueled by the money you mention, have helped draw a higher quality athlete to IU. Slowly and hopefully surely, that will result in a better team on the field

Size and athletics fit, and they'd be a geographic rival for Creighton, but it'd be a matter if the Big East wanted to admit a public school into a conference of 10 private schools.

Another streaming service, that is available right now, that is free, is Xumo. Recommended by Consumer Reports. I added it to my Roku this weekend. An unbelievable amount of content. And another neat thing, is there is no registration. All Channels & Genres | XUMO They even have a Field and Stream channel for Rico. LOL

I thought it might happen too. I ass-u-me that they explored this in back channels.

Just market make up, to be able to grab a Texas school, or a Georgia, Oklahoma, or Carolina, even a Florida would get a huge area. Iirc Georgia Tech was thought of as a candidate previously. Now I wonder about Texas Tech? Sure UT is the monster but Tech or Baylor would still get the market, like Rutgers.

I'd do anything to be a football school.

Conference alignment is not fueled by basketball.....football is at the root.

That money comes from the big ten network and the more teams you add the less each team will get.

I know this would never happen but this is what I would like to see the NBA playoffs be like. To me the playoffs are way to long and shouldn't take 3 months to finish the playoffs. I think they should go to the NCAA tournament route and just have one and done scenario and play all games on neutral sites. This way when we see some upsets like Saturday they really mean something but more than likely the higher seed will still win the series. So here is my suggestion for the playoffs and it is to still have a east region and a west region with 8 teams in each region with 4 games at each site. You then lpay the second round at that site as well and after that you will have 4 teams left and have a final four site. East Region at Syracuse New York 1 vs 8 4 vs 5 2 vs 7 3 vs 6 West Region in Seattle Washington 1 vs 8 4 vs 5 2 vs 7 3 vs 6 Final four at New Orleans Louisiana.
