[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3164532, member: 12852"] If that's the case would the SEC get value from Clemson or UNC or FSU? I guess what I'm wondering is if Clemson, for example, has a fixed value regardless of conference or if it's relative based on the conference looking at them. It almost sounds like the SEC could be outgrowing any school from the ACC with the addition of oUt. I may be missing something, but I don't view UNC as a blue blood in football and Clemson/FSU are really borderline in that regard. The number of blue bloods in football are closer to 1 dozen than 2. Are either of them going to add more per school than the new SEC deal with oUt? If not does the SEC make that move and reduce payout per school? The SEC is already in all of those states, for the most part, so it would seem they don't get as much marginal improvement by adding them. Meanwhile, the B1G isn't anywhere near those states so it could stand to benefit far more from adding a Clemson, FSU, UNC, etc. than the SEC could. Where I'm going with all this is the idea that maybe the SEC is superior to the B1G in every regard after the new TV deals and has no incentive to expand further. If that's true then maybe that provides incentive for the B1G to not add any other PAC schools. The only way the B1G could match SEC is to add the best of the ACC when the GOR is less onerous. That could be a very long time and provide a healthy amount of time for a B12 with Arizona, ASU, Utah, Colorado, Stanford, Oregon, and U Dub to coalesce into a near peer to the other two. The thing you've taught me the last week that I hadn't considered much is how big a player Fox is here. We've always focused so much on ESPN as the owner of college football, but as long as Fox owns the B1G they'll be a huge impediment to a super conference break away. And if CBS or NBC build up a valuable 3rd conference it could all but prevent such a breakaway from happening. It'll take a lot of 4D chess and subterfuge to achieve a super league because of Fox.
