[QUOTE="Mountaineer Steve, post: 129477550, member: 1495432"] 2020 is Just a guess on my part. Once you make the move to expand there is no going back. The BIG12 did not spend all this time and effort getting this amendment changed if they planed to expand all along. If the 10 team 1 vs 2 CCG dereg amendment passes , expansion is dead for the time being to allow CCG to play out several years and determine if conference is still at a disadvantage. If there is a perceived disadvantage the the possibility of expansion is back on the table. I agree it is not likely the BIG12 will expand during TV contract negotiations assuming the conference is NOT at a disadvantage. However it is the next logical time if anything is to take place. I also agree, current ratings and on field (bowl) success has not been great. If TV per team payout does not keep up with the PAC and ACC, the only other option is creating a real BIG12 network. For this to happen the BIG12 has to expand it's footprint [/QUOTE]
