Well, looks like we're going to expose this "its not about the money, its about stability" silliness for the lie it is.

If you want the conference to be stable, do what the Big 10 did and marry the conference. If you sign an agreement saying that the conference now controls your tier 1/2 rights for the next 6 years, even if you leave, then you really can't leave even if the Big 10 hands you a gold-plated letter of admission. (we're doing this because no one is going to join our conference at this point unless we all legally chain ourselves together to prove no one is leaving anytime soon)

Boom, instant stability. It isn't done yet, but that is where they are going after the lawyers draw up the paperwork.

So, now it is not about the money, and it is not about stability, so... what?
