[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 887860, member: 1199"] Two thoughts: Northwestern & Illinois have about the same football market value in Chicago as GT does in Atlanta. Chicago is much more a pro sports town than a college sports town. I believe the SEC wants to own Atlanta and the B1G wants a piece of it. Their media contract does not care how many Northwestern fans live in Chicago. But the market size is of great interest to the media companies who carry the games. I light Nate Silver, but analytics are not the primary factor in these decisions. How the current members feel about having a school as a conference member is a complicated and, at times, very subjective subject. [/QUOTE]
