You have to split up the revenue pie into too many pieces (this matters more for G5 conferences than P5 conferences) and you don't get to play teams from the other division very often.

I dont think SBC is doing the exact same thing as CUSA.

Per school payout is guaranteed by ESPN.
Scheduling will be focused within respective East/West divisions.
Tighter geographical footprints and less travel costs among eastern schools and western schools.
Familiarity and regional rivalries within 7 Eastern teams. Same for 7 Western teams.

In fact if WKU + 1 more school is interested, and ESPN stays a willing partner, I dont see why SBC cant go 16. Essentially two groups of 8 schools in a big happy family.
