[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129477369, member: 1428007"] What does 2020 have to do with anything-just curious. The conference might be able to enact a CCG for 2016-they've set aside the schedules for this--whether they could negotiate a contract to play one that would be significant in that short time remains to be seen. If the conference doesn't expand in the near term, they aren't going to be expanding at all. There aren't going to be expansion candidates any different in 2020 or 2024 than there are now, when they must try to negotiate a new tv contract. If the belief is no one is worth it now, they won't be worth it then for certain because those schools will have been a decade out of competitive revenues. Harder to build facilities, harder to gain recruits and harder to compete. No P5 schools will be "available" until the Pac 12s contract is up in 2024 (same year the BIG 12 must begin renegotiating tv contracts). At that point the BIG 12's negotiations will be based on what they've done in ratings and on field success up to then and what the climate for rights fees are at that time. At the present time there is not much outlook for optimism in regard to those issues. [/QUOTE]
