[QUOTE="mtmedlin, post: 896440, member: 66796"] We need to get to 12 to maximize out contract. The biggest problem with the BE is that we have not been financially able to pay coaches and staff enough to stay and to build programs. Just think about the coaches that have left and where the programs would be if they had stayed. WV, Lousiville and Cinci would all be major players but we lost them cause we dont make enough. Adding three teams will help and our choices are CUSA teams that are unproved at the AQ level or teams like ISU, Kansas and KSU which have at least competed at this level and at times been competitive. Add in their very solid basketball programs and they are a much better fit. Basketabll is important to the football members. Along with Notre Dame , seven of us made it to the NCAA tourney, so it is something we would like to build upon. Laslty, is academics. ISU and Kansas are AAU universities and would increase the BE image. That would give us 4 AAU and 5 Tier One research institutes. Thats pretty solid. Were not getting ND or any other top program in football to join but we can add teams that bring value, academic prestige and other sports. Those three also would fit in nicely if we decided to do what the Pac12 did in regional networks. This move is about money and many other factors that arent football related. [/QUOTE]
