TCU gives us the Dallas Market? Doubt it..... That is Longhorn Country

Vill or Temple gives us the Phila market?..... That is Eagle Country

Does UCiF give us Mickey Town? ............  Possibly

I say:

North:

Cinn

Pitt

Iowa State or TCU or Baylor

K-State

Kansas

Mizzou

East

USF

L'ville

WVU

Syracuse

UConn

Rutgers

Fortune favors the Brave...... Why settle for crumbs? Let us go a BCS raiding......

I don't know why Temple isn't mentioned. The may win their conference this year, a NQ yes, but a Conference title is still a conference title. They're already a member, so it won't piss off the BB only members, and they used to play in the BE. You add Temple and Villanova and move on. JMHO.

Neither are great football adds and the markets would overlap.  It's the same reason UCF wouldn't be my first choice for expansion.  One of the Philly schools and one of the TX schools would expand the footprint of the conference the most.  Let's get that TV money.

That's the reason UCF won't get invited.  The Big East game of the week is already on Bright House Sports Network in Orlando.  UCF has a large market that makes them attractive, but it's already covered in the Big East and SEC.

As I understand it, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, it boils down to number cable subscribers in a market, not number of people that actually watch the games.  This assuming we try to start a Big East network, which seems to be the way these things are going.

Both pieces would be looked at. The higher your ratings the more willing advertisers are to spend money on your network... The more subscribers the more people you can charge a subscription fee.

Glad to see the BE being proactive on the subject...

Crossing my fingers for TCU being Target # 1.  As for the other one, I don't really care.
