This isnt very forward thinking. Conferences are made for decades. TV markets arent the future. Soon all sporting events will be broadcast online exclusively via memberships. This will reduce institutional value of a school to its actual following and or package subscription. Me thinks this way of thinking back fires in the long term.

Thats exactly what I posted weeks ago with the Big XII TV deals. I wonder how powerful and lucrative these TV deals will be in a few years when each school has it's own Web Network. Many are already in place. Mizzou just launched theirs. $79 a year for a full subscription. Think about it...most middle tier schools never see their teams play on TV. The web is the future.

Android or Apple tvs; Microsoft Kinect powered set top boxes are the future it's going to take one or more of those to take off to get the internet into everyone's living room
