Message: <blockquote data-quote="aaronqb" data-source="post: 283050" data-attributes="member: 2237">I agree - there will be fewer conferences and eventually a playoff system. Dan Wetzel (Yahoo Sports) wrote an excellent article on this earlier in the week. The game changer is the Big 10 Network where the Big 10 has effectively eliminated the middle man (major TV networks) and reaped a large financial windfall. Look for other conferences to follow suit. At this point, the Big 10 is looking to expand into other large TV markets with research universities and expand the reach of the Big 10 Network.I also read that Big 10 schools are making as much now as Notre Dame due to this network. I believe Notre Dame will be much more willing to talk.I would like to see Texas, Rutgers, Texas A&M, Syracuse, and schools like that to become teams 13-16.If the money is there, the programs will improve.</blockquote>
