[QUOTE="screetch, post: 890809, member: 1006"] With Aggy's impending departure, I started thinking about how the Big East would maximize revenue. With the upcoming television contract renewal the Big East is perfectly positioned to make some big moves. Everyone is mentioning Mizzou, Kansas and KSU as possible with Aggy's impending departure from the Longwhorn conference, but to lure them over we would need to offer more than they are getting now. I believe the Big East walked away from $1.4 billion over 9 years, which would pay about $12mm to each football member. Not sure what Mizzou, Kansas and KSU are being paid now, but I believe Mizzou is getting around $15mm? Adding them might increase bids for the television K, but it would take a lot to make up a $3mm shortfall because there are so many mouths to feed with basketball schools splitting 40%. That's why I think Aggy leaving means the Big East football schools split off if they can add Mizzou, Kansas and KSU, along with Villanova to sweeten the basketball television deal. The new Big East would look like this: North: Cincinnati Connecticut Pittsburgh Rutgers Syracuse West Virginia Villanova South: USF TCU Louisville Missouri Kansas Kansas State This would enable a championship game and increase the value of the television contract. Of course this all presumes the Big East could negotiate a television contract of about $1.6 billion for this package. Not sure how a network would value the rights if Notre Dame didn't come along for basketball? The Big East may even be able to pick off some ACC teams to go to 14-16 because the ACC's current deal is crap and they are locked in. No basis or source for any of this. Just seems like the logical end result. Happy Friday. [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
