[QUOTE="rifram09, post: 2515784, member: 70325"] Ya, maybe. But the ACC still makes less than we do to this day... and they have Louisville and Pitt (the two we likely would have added along with WVU and TCU). Plus at that time, the B12 had just negotiated a lucrative deal with their media partners after the departure of Nebraska and Colorado. The B12 was able to talk them into continuing to pay the same amount of money to 10 schools that they used to pay to all 12, meaning the remaining 10 got a pay bump. When A$M and Mi$$ou left, they were still operating under that paradigm. So if the B12 had expanded back to 12, they would have taken a per-team pay cut. And who knows, maybe Louisville and Pitt would have dragged us down in the media negotiations; they certainly aren't doing enough to make the ACC richer than the B12 currently. [/QUOTE]
