Thanks for the added info, but a good dose of reality is needed in the form of a response. The vast majority of people on this board don't care of the MWC is expanding, contracting, imploding or even exploring. Let's try to keep this thread to the important expansion topics like what the P5 conferences are doing. It was a good update though - props for that. It's just not our kind of info. KWIM? Thanks in advance for your understanding.

You're welcome.

You are right. Only a measly 40 pages on the topic in 4 days. Pathetic. No one cares

You forgot to end your post with "You're welcome." That's apparently a thing in this thread.

You're welcome.

UMBC to the B12

Based on all the studies that the Big12 have completed over the past year, the conference decided that the best way to add value to their brand and payouts is to contract to 9 schools. The word is that they can generate an increase in $12 mil/school by booting one school. I'll provide more info as I get it.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Breaking news: to further increase the per-school payout, the Big 12 has decided to boot out everyone but UT and OU. It was a tough decision, but all schools in the conference believe it's for the best.

You're welcome.

Wouldn't per school payout be increased again by booting OU as well?
