[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 886741, member: 1682"] Just watched something on YouTube indicating that the Big 10 is not done on expansion out west, that the new TV deals are open ended on the money part for expansion over the next few yrs up to 20 teams. The open ended money was up to 1.4-1.5 billion, which would indicate approx. 75 million per school. Nothing mentioned about Big 10 coming east or south in their current planned expansion. Saw where Kirk Herbstreet (at another time) said he thought we end up with 3 big conferences, I guess meaning Big 10, SEC, and some sort of combo out of the remainders which includes the ACC I guess. I have no idea whether all this holds water or not, just reporting what I've seen. If true about a western division sort of in the Big 10, helps with lesser long distance travel for the western teams and adds the number 6 media mkt to the BIGs already 1-4 media mkts. giving them 6 out of 7 top media mkts. Ain't bad for a few months work. If true, where does the SEC go for good media mkts? Looks to me like there's not a lot left for them. They could try and get South FL with Miami and the state of NC encompasses several mkts added together, Raleigh-Durham, High point/Greensboro, Charlotte combined are really good, UVA does not have a lot of following I've heard in the DC/Baltimore mkts, appears if all this plays out the BIG 10 wins this war. They will be following what the NFL has done, media mkts seems to be the deal for them. I always thought it was interesting that the St Louis Rams and the Chargers moved to the 2nd largest media mkt, yes I know in effect Rams were coming home, but I'm guessing it had a lot more to do with the 2nd biggest media mkt. That is appearing more and more to be the driving force behind where the BIG 10 believes you need to go. Seems this story could still be alive for a while, we'll see. [/QUOTE]
