Makes sense, as what you said is moronic.
No one will watch Cal and Stanford and no one on the East or West Coast cares about the Big 12.
quote:I'm not arguing late night time slots are as valuable as prime time and the B1G never demanded prime-time money for late-night games. But the networks gave the B1G a big boost in revenue for the time slot so the B1G came out the winner in expansion.
Really? Check out the viewership on 9EST games last season versus 7EST.

They absolutely could. They don't, because ...

It's not a valuable time slot. Which is why only locally relevant games air in this spot. Which makes the whole "haha we have all time zones" ... moronic.

Like a lot of conferences, the Big 10 was caught flat footed when the SEC added Oklahoma and Texas.
Suddenly the SEC has 7 of the top 10 programs in revenue.
They didn't add USC and Oregon because of the time zone, they added them despite it. It's a liability but they're banking on it being worth it and they had to do *something* after getting surprised like that.
