andy_puiu Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) This is all driven by TV Market size (which equals revenue). It ONLY makes sense to add schools that bring in market value worth about the same or more than the average we already have. Because our average market/revenue is already very high, that doesn't leave a lot of options. Here are some big, uncaptured TV markets (in decreasing size) that have big, AAU schools associated with them (i.e. top schools that would benefit the big ten): Los Angeles (UCLA) Dallas & Houston (Texas A&M*) San Francisco (Stanford, but it's private. Would UCLA and USC already get you this?) Atlanta (Georgia Tech?) North Carolina (multiple metros) (UNC) Florida (multiple metros) (U of Florida) Phoenix (U of Arizona) Seattle (U of Washington) Denver (U of Colorado) St. Louis (U of Missouri) Several people have commented about how secret/tight-lipped this has been... in contrast to the SEC expansion/raiding of the B12. I think most assume Texas A&M was behind that leak, because they didn't want University of Texas to join the SEC. Maybe the B10 will go after Texas A&M? Texas television market would be a huge gain and there appears to be bad blood between them and SEC.

mrflynn03 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 At this point may as well merge all the P5 conferences and have Blue and Gray divisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USC game skews the numbers up to look better than they really are. They are not even half filling their stadium on a regular basis 45K per game last year. I have no idea what their stadium seats.

I am talking about how are the other sports going to travel to LA. Might as well just get rid of conferences and have everyone as independents and just put the final nail in what college athletics is supposed to be about. PS, no I don't think there should be a jump ball after every basket. So only in women's basketball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogue3542 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Honestly, USC's and UCLA's attendance is a complete non-factor. It's the LA tv market that drives this from the Big Ten perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Since all of this is about college football so why doesn't the top 20 programs just form a mega football conference and leave everything else the same. This move only hurts IU football worse because that is two more teams IU can compete routinely with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, LA is a pro sports town, and even then, they have plenty of other things to do if their team is mediocre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
