[QUOTE="MusicalBuzz, post: 812239, member: 5555"] Ironically I just replied to you on the other thread. While I recognize the talking point in the last realignment was about access to market .. dare I say without numbers in hand that this was the theory at the time and doesn’t necessarily translate to now. The unknown at the time is What if the market really doesn’t care about the team? If there is limited following to start with (or interest in general in CFB) then the viewership numbers don’t play out. For instance, I would love to see what impact Rutgers has had for B1G. As opposed to a team with brand and tradition such as Auburn mentioned on the other thread (the relevance of Birmingham meaningless in this case). Similarly what impact has Louisville or Syracuse had for ACC? If I recall, a key motivation in 2010-11 was getting enough teams in order to have separate divisions for the sole — the ONLY — purpose of having a Championship game (which may not be intriguing whatsoever .. or attended if it’s ACC… oh but the corporate $$ and ads fronting money). And I believe the minimum number of teams was the primary motivation of B1G and us for adding schools .. though we getting the former Big East schools + Louisville supported the premise the ACC is basketball first (which, noted elsewhere, doesn’t bring in nearly the $$ as football).
