[QUOTE="KillerFrog InD KitchenSink, post: 561731, member: 4967"] QUOTE(gohornedfrogs @ May 19 2010, 05:03 PM) [snapback]561729[/snapback] The answer to this is NO. The Big 10 sets the agenda for college sports more than any other conference. If they expand and their path to the national championship game has to go through a conference championship, then they are going to put a lot of pressure on the others to have to do it, too. Thus, the Pac-10 and Big East will have to expand, and the Big 12 will have to replace whatever they lose. There is no way that Delany and the presidents of the Big 10 universities are going to let Texas or Oklahoma or USC skate right into the national championship without playing a conference championship game if the Big 10 teams are playing one. And Delany will get the support of the SEC on that one. Doesn't the 10 team conference championship, if it goes through, rule take care of those concerns? Your points seem like an argument for leagues like the SEC and Big 10 to vote [B]for[/B] the 10 team league championship game rule. And if that rule goes into effect, that will encourage leagues that are at 10 to stay there, as that will be the point where the revenue is potentially maximized, depending on how the league is set up (leagues that own their own network like the Big 10 will still have motivation to get bigger).
