...and so you're paying 12 teams for the same content you can get from 11 teams.
but given that you sub-license some stuff out(generally 2nd tier stuff)- you get a lot stronger programming.
Do you? 110 conference games versus 108 conference games plus 2-3 decent OOC games seems an awful lot like the same content, the second just gives a little more low-level stuff to sell, which you aren't making big money on anyway.
but then your top 1-2 teams aren't playing 2 games vs last 4 teams, and that helps you out as well. Makes the games you do have better. I mean look this year. Cincy instead of having to play Tulsa and Tulane a 2nd time got to play Wichita twice. I think TV folks like that a lot more.
