Conference Wonderland

Nebraska is in the Big 10. Now if they go after Mizzo - then that leaves the Big 12 as the Big 10 and the Big 10 as the Big 12…  Then if the Pac 10 gets Colorado, which it also has apparently done, and then goes after Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M then the Pac 10 will be the Pac-16.  Then the Big 10, or now the Big 12, will go after 4 other schools.  Probably ND and 3 others, prolly from the Big East.  Then you will have the SEC not wanting to be left out so they will go after several schools like GT, FSU, Miami, and Clemson.  Then you will have a weak ACC and Big East so they combine and you get the Pac 16, the SEC16, the Big 16, and the BigAtlantic16.. 

This is all because of the Big 10 network.  That’s it.  No other reason.  The Big 10 gets something like 7 or 8 cents per subscriber of the Big 10 network in states with out a Big 10 school BUT in states with a Big 10 school they get something like 48 cents per subscriber.   Now all the other conferences are seeing just how much money can be made from these TV networks. 

2 new channels to come very soon…  The SEC network and the PAC network. 

What will this change?  Probably not as much as some think.  All the playoff people will be kind of happy because they will probably get some kind of playoff now but the BCS haters should probably get a little scared.  If you think the BCS is powerful now… just wait till they are over 4 super conferences.
