[QUOTE="Endless Purple, post: 2515799, member: 778"] Maryland and Rutgers had a huge impact because of the New York on DC markets on the B1G TV channel prices. They were not invited for being good. That would have no bearing on Louisville to the Big 12 as the big 12 would not be increasing cable rates from .10 per subscriber to .90 per subscriber (or whatever the huge jump was) and the Louisville market is slightly less people than NY and DC combined. There is nothing but rumor media innuendo that 10 teams is unstable. The 9 team SWC fell because it was all in Texas. 12 team conferences unhappy so they grow to 14. There is still grumbling about how the B1G schools and SEC schools do not like their current status and lost rivalries, but their conference networks pay too much. WAC 16 failed, Big East failed, Big 8 failed, I can go on. There is no magic safe number for a conference. The number of teams does not make a conference stable or unstable. Agree, the Big 12 CCG is stupid. [/QUOTE]
