What's this?

Correction: The top 4 conferences aren't running charities


Adding any of the remaining Big12 teams to the top 4 just dilutes and lowers the bar from a financial standpoint. To believe that anything other than money will drive the top 4 to add any of the remaining Big 12 teams is delusional.

This is where the Big 12 needs to take a cold hard assessment of its situation and realize their remaining teams don't move the needle for the top 4, and none of them are even considering the option of joining the AAC or MWC. If they want to survive and have the best financial position going forward, they must reduce their competition and increase their market appeal with what they have left.

The only way the Big 12 doesn't exist in 5 years is if it doesn't expand. Expansion is survival to them right now.
