re: It’s a matter of time before conference booting begins

The money involves television. Missouri grabs a market share of the St. Louis television market. That’s all the powers that be care about. They understand that there won’t be seven really big games in one weekend. A game like Ohio State vs Michigan gets picked up by a network and then broadcasts nationwide. So…..Missouri vs Arkansas grabs a percentage of a large TV market. They don’t care who wins. Oklahoma and Texas coming in sewed up Dallas, Houston, and the slightly lesser viewing audiences in San Antonio, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City. If that add more teams it will be teams like Miami which has an obvious viewership and schools like Virginia Tech, Clemson and teams in that region because it brings a large viewership (capital and surrounding area)
