[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 3043743, member: 70903"] so everyone on here infers you have some level of inside knowledge - yet you continue to correlate football performance with attractiveness to conference expansion even though every tv exec involved in expansion and next generation contract discussions with the B12 and other conferences focus the vast majority of the conversation around footprint/eyeballs/buying power of the audience competitiveness of the teams only matters to fans of those teams - even with programs like UCF, the first comment out of network reps mouth is about the size of their alumni base and their ratings in/outside of Florida - not about their on the field performance. If a service academy has the viewership level that puts them on a tier above the top "performing" G5 programs - no one paying the bills cares if they are winning or not. The fact is that even though everyone loves that academies - they are not bringing the level of eye balls that the networks want to see vs some of the larger G5s at this point. [/QUOTE]
