What's this?

B12 has a conundrum on their hands


and the LHN is in the middle of it.

Not sure who they are going to attract without any promise of a network, and not sure financially how you get the LHN away from UT, make them whole, and have anything left to distribute to anyone else. Not a real attractive lure going into a new conference where one team is always going to get $15M more than anyone else for the next 15 years, network or not. History tells us UT isn't just going to give that up.

G5 Teams would jump because they would still make bank compared to current revenues. No P5 would even want any part of it, I don't think.

  Is the consultant telling them to steal from the ACC? ** -- Lakeridgehokie 05/03/2016 09:22AM
  I found the old Pac-10 the most enjoyable. -- Maroon Baboon 05/02/2016 9:14PM
  I found the PAC 12 unavailable on my TV -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:06PM
  But but but they have a network. **** -- Lead Dog 05/03/2016 7:45PM
  I wonder if the ACC and Big 12 are talking to each other. -- VT ChemE 1986 05/02/2016 8:31PM
  ACC has too many schools and they need 2... -- VictoryTurkey 05/03/2016 07:40AM
  If 2 teams are going to leave the ACC for the Big XII -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 11:48AM
  Syracuse is basketball and lacrosse centric. No way for them. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 12:16PM
  The Big XII is looking east to tap into the valuable eastern markets -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 12:29PM
  Better option is to merge 5 members into the ACC. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 2:17PM
  A problem with that is the Big Ten doesn't want Iowa St -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:29PM
  It could work if you have regional divisions. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 2:54PM
  The WAC tried the 4 regional pod with 2 rotating pod approach too -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:58PM
  The WAC covered 4 time zones, and got almost ZERO TV money. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 3:17PM
  For the 8 members (most were original members) that left -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 3:14PM
  Two 7 team divisions is worse. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 3:27PM
  It will require careful consideration and I am not suggesting -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 3:51PM
  That is one possible way of setting it up. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 4:50PM
  A similar scenario crossed my mind -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 5:56PM
  There will still be 2 divisions officially. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 10:21PM
  Right, but why would an ACC team leave for the Big12? the travel costs -- corvt2000 05/03/2016 1:17PM
  The most logical reason would be money -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:05PM
  Bottom line B12 schools are scarfing 12 school monies from -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:07PM
  Not necessarily true -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:12PM
  But the B12 has schools like Iowa State, and TCU -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:05PM
