It's probably been said, but if two schools leave the Big 12 for the Big 10, then doesn't the Big 10 become the Big 12 and the Big 12 becomes the Big 10? So in reality those two schools didn't leave, and the other 20 schools did?

Yup. Kinda crushes the "The Big Ten won't add more than one team/it dilutes the payouts too much" argument I've seen bandied about on Phog.net, doesn't it?

That's why the Big Ten will add five teams...

Missouri, Nebraska, Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers (Notre Dame would dump Pitt or Rutgers if it changes its mind).

The cable subscribers alone pay for the teams that are being added. Then you throw in the $35-40 million the four-team, three-game football playoff brings, the increased hoops revenue, and so on... and you see why Big Jim Delaney is making this happen.

That creating a 16-team megaconference in football will spark further realignment and eventually kill the BCS and NCAA helps, too.

Make no mistake, the Big Ten sees this as an opportunity to strike the NCAA. College sports' future is four-superconferences encompassing 64-70 teams.

Everyone else? I guess they can stay in the NCAA, which is going to eventually become a "minor" league.

Oh, no doubt. But you compare Mizzou to some of the other schools in the running, and the Tigers are much more in control than, say, Pitt (which is a good fit but adds no new TV sets or money), Syracuse (which was not one of the initial five targets but slid up when Notre Dame said "no" again), or any of the other schools that won't get an invite...

I'm late to this discussion, but maybe this explains why I've been offered Big 10 packages on my TWC service?

You know the big 10 currently has 11 schools right?

will that in any way increase the research funds to be distributed?

I've had the Big Ten Network from day one on Directv. They also have like 5 alternate channels so every game broadcast is available in HD.
