[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 817440, member: 4572"] There’s only a finite amount of monetary value to go around. When you start adding more slices, you have to make the pie [B][I]much[/I][/B] bigger to avoid losing the existing value. Say the SEC signs a $1B annual broadcast deal. For 16 teams thats $62.5M a year each. Add one team to make it 17 and it goes down to $58.8M per year. That’s $3.7M less per team, and it reduces the total value of the contract by about $60M. Make it 20 teams at $1B and each team is receiving $12.5M [I]less [/I]per year than they would of the league was 16 teams. Adding 4 schools to the 16 school league would need to create an additional $200M or $50M per school on an annual basis. When you think about the possibility of all these historical powerhouses only playing each other for every game of every year, it diminishes their value greatly.
