I'm not buying this one. The guy who broke the news (and who PFF is citing) is a radio host in Tampa with a few thousand Twitter followers. Nobody else is reporting it.

Lack of denial says something too.

I'm guessing if SEC adds the TX/OU/CLEM/FSU the next step will be kicking out the schools that don't bring viewers like Missouri and Vanderbilt.

And so the plummet in records begins. How long will 8-4 egos last? NOT long.

They want rivalries with big brands they just don't give a **** about ones like the Apple Bowl or the Iowa-ISU game. They'd love a Clemson-South Carolina conference rivalry or Clemson-Georgia.

Be careful what you ask for. 'Rivalries' are not established overnight.

I would bet Texas and OU indivdually draw more viewers than the rest of the big 12 combined. Nationally, people care about Texas and OU. Nationally people don't care about the rest of the big 12.

You're a byproduct of what you're taught. That aside, several on here have compiled the numbers and that statement is not even close to being true.

Like $75M a year revenue split will ease a lot of tension.

Do Cubs fans care that their team makes alot of money?

Does the Cubs ownership care the fans are mad?

Maybe administrators and university, but not among fans.

When you realize that the gate and viewership directly affect the media rights value and your bottom line, yes.

i sincerely hope you are right and i am wrong.

Has anyone with any credibility spoken to this rumor? Or was it just one guy on twitter?

So far, most of the prominent sports people have said that it was false, and definitely just one guy on Twitter.

I can hear it already. ESPN and SEC will promote the idea that 8-4 in the SEC is equivalent to 11-1 outside the SEC, so these teams should still be given a slot in the playoffs.

will it? or will it just give them more money to throw around at buyouts and a carousel of coaching changes?
