Re: How many new viewers does WVU bring to the table?
Will viewers be the only driving force in the next round of expansion? If the landscape is truly going to shift to a Power 4 grouping with all four conferences potentially having an equal/approximately equal number of teams(be it 16, 18, 20) then the parameters/considerations for adding new members could turn on a number of factors besides just addition to top line revenue. Granted the preferable way for expanding businesses to affect the bottom line is to grow the top line, however, geographical proximity, regional rivalries, and similar university profiles might provide opportunities to increase the bottom line without solely growing the top line. I do not believe that just because an institution was bypassed before that they will automatically be excluded from consideration going forward, particularly if decision factors have changed significantly.
