OK, we're official. 4 teams, selection committee, 12 years, $500MM/year, most of it probably going to playoff conferences, semifinals rotated between 6 bowls.
Let the realignment games begin!

How does an uninformed loser like this get a job for a major newspaper?

More cold water dumped on the idea of grand Big 12 expansion:
Internal Big 12 documents reveal only Notre Dame will increase the value of the conference's TV contracts. Texas doesn't want mote mouths to feed, so it looks doubtful that FSU or Clemson would get approval from Deloss Dodds to come on board. http://newsok.com/article/3688049 |

It was from January, and there absolutely were many rumors about FSU and Clemson going to the Big 12 back then.
Here is a blog post from The Dude back in January where he discusses the FSU and Clemson rumors, in addition to many other schools. http://www.eerinsider.com/2012-artic...expansion.html |

The info re: Notre Dame is interesting, especially considering...
NBC owns the broadcast rights to ALL of Notre Dame's home football games, (one is played at neutral site game each year, which NBC still owns). In a conference situation, that's going to be at least 6 games (12-team) and probably 7 or 8. So 4-5 Notre Dame road games/year is worth more than the value added by having first right of refusal for ALL of Clemson or Florida State's game? Interesting. Unless, of course, Notre Dame would be giving the Big 12's TV partners first crack at its games. At which point its deal with NBC would have to be altered and likely reduced. Having third shot at games is going to reduce the value to NBC, reduce the number of ND games it can broadcast yearly and probably lead to the network wanting to reduce its payout. I'd think if ND was willing to change/alter the deal as much as would be necessary to give ABC and ESPN first crack at its football games, the Irish would be well served to carefully compare that arrangement to what ND could have if it went to the B1G. I haven't been paying close attention to ND or this situation. Is there something I'm missing that would address this?
