For example, the Big Ten said that they were set with 12 members, with no expansion on the horizon. Then the SEC added TAMU and Mizzou. All of a sudden, the Big Ten thought Maryland and Rutgers were a great idea to add.

Most of the TV contracts come with look-ins for additional markets added to the existing footprint, or for expansion in general due to content issues. But if I were a Husky or Bearcat fan I would be secretly hoping for a breakaway, as that would mean that the broadening of membership would be in the best interest of those separating. It leaves less suitable product for the NCAA to use to regroup, and brings more numbers on board in the new League.

Oh, I am openly hoping for a breakaway...I am secretly hoping for the total destructon of the NCAA and every P5 team...03-shhhh

The more chaos the better for our chances of returning to a BCS/P5 conference.
