[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2835537, member: 73370"] true, but you are not starting to operate outside the basic rules of viewer attraction found in most college conferences and starting to act like the nfl or nba. does anyone truly believe a viewer in seattle or eugen is going to suddenly have an interest in west virginia football or basketball? espn wants content and content it can control and doesn't have to spend much money to develop plain and simple. great, they need product to fill the enormous amount of video shelf space they have bought and any interest they have is in the interest of espn and they don't give a [ Finebaum ] about college athletics. if they did you wouldn't have noon games on television in august and college games on thursday and friday nights. what conference expansion has truly worked where a conference was simply adding teams regardless of any geographic connection? the big 10 is bigger after adding rutgers and maryland, but is it really stronger? same with the acc. running a conference across geographic america is good for espn and that is about it.
