The Big 12 Conference, which is a collegiate athletic conference in the United States, could expand by four teams through a process of adding new member institutions. This would likely involve the Big 12 inviting new universities to join the conference, based on factors such as their athletic programs, financial resources, and geographic proximity. Once an invitation is extended and accepted, the new university would then become a full member of the Big 12, with full voting rights and access to all conference resources and benefits. The addition of four new teams would bring the total number of member institutions in the Big 12 to 16, which could potentially lead to changes in the conference's structure, such as the creation of new divisions or the scheduling of additional conference games.
I love this thread but some people need to condense their post lengths a little.

Clearly for the Huskies’ football LOL!Looks like Maryland was traded for Uconn.

Interesting that these additions are now needed BEFORE/CONCURRENT with the media deal. Amazon wants a bigger footprint but this would surely push the pro rata distribution down. I’m becoming convinced things are unraveling a bit.

An early gameI also don't understand how SMU would be additive in a model "heavily reliant" on streaming. I've seen other articles that tout the Dallas/Ft. Worth market, but does market size really matter in a world that's going away from the cable tv model?

I think as we move from a cable model to a streaming model, number of TV's is going to be less important, and fan bases will be more important (thus why the SEC and Big 10 are trying to gobble up brands). With streaming, you know how many people tuned in to watch the game and support those teams. SMU and SDSU don't really seem to have large fan bases.
Maybe it is necessary to provide enough inventory for Amazon to be interested.Interesting that these additions are now needed BEFORE/CONCURRENT with the media deal.

If they can't get a deal done without adding inventory then there isn't a per school evaluation to pull down.Maybe it is necessary to provide enough inventory for Amazon to be interested.
There is speculation that the Pac12 is still trying to create a media rights package that includes linear and streaming. If they only have 4 or 5 Pac games during the conference season. There isn't much inventory for Amazon if ESPN and maybe a Network are part of their media rights holders.
But it's hard to believe SMU & SDSU would not pull down the per school rights revenue unless those 2 schools would come on the cheap.
I can't get over how the west coast snobs turned down their noses at the Big 12, but are now adding the leftover schools we didn't even want, and trying to spin it into some sort of gain over us.
