1. Big10: +Nebraska, +CCG

2. SEC: +Texas A&M

3. ACC: +Syracuse, +Pitt

4. Pac12: +Colorado, +Utah, +CCG

5. Big 12: -Nebraska, -Colorado, -TexasA&M, +TCU, -CCG ...

6. Big East: -Syracuse, -Pitt, -TCU



I think Big10/SEC have pretty much done the same thus far....ACC/Pac12 have pretty much done the same...Big East is by far the biggest loser IMO. Big12 has certainly taken a hit and is a weaker conference now, but I don't think they have taken as big a hit as the BigEast.

I'd say Big 10 b/c they finally got a conf. championship game and the money, plus Nebraska has a much more storied history and stronger fanbase than A&M

SEC is second with adding TX market

Big 12 North was a joke and now I don't know what you call it

1) Pac 12, did you see their TV deal...
2) SEC, too early to tell
3) Big 10 (can start a championship game)
4) ACC (Survival)
5) Big 12 (will survive)
6) Big lEAST (they are in real trouble, soon to be a Bball conference.

I would put the Pac 12 ahead of the ACC and maybe the SEC too. Getting a conference championship game is huge. Their TV deal is massive.

Storied History- A team that was formerly popular or influential, whose popularity or effectiveness has peaked and is now in decline. ~a person or thing that is no longer effective, successful, popular, etc. A discription by fans whose teams have now become irelevent. Ohio state has a storied history!

I agree with that

I would guess financially A&M is even or better tho (for what markets they bring)

1. Big Ten: Added a prestigious program and got a CG

2. Pac 12: Added two mediocre programs but got a CG

3. SEC: Added a quality program and huge TV market, but may find that 14 teams (assuming we go there) is unmanageable for scheduling

4. ACC: Insured its survival, strengthened itself in basketball and essentially murdered its only competition for east coast supremacy, but added nothing in football and may find 14 teams unamanageable as well

5. Big XII: Took a severe hit, and will probably take another one any time now, but will add some mediocre programs and survive...for now

6. Big East: Dead as a football conference, weakened as a basketball conference, will lose more teams soon

...

11. WAC: Lost its three best programs, having to add two new FBS schools for next year (Texas St. and Texas-San Antonio), will have to merge with Sun Belt even to have enough teams to have a conference, regardless of quality

1) B1G

they added nebraska and a CCG

2) ACC

ensured survival, helped basketball, and (so far) didnt lose anyone, i have them so high not so much because they gained so much, but because they could've really lost a lot but didnt

3) Pac-12

sweet tv deal, added some mediocre teams to get a CCG

4)SEC

they were doing so great before, i think adding aTm and possibly mizzou just dilutes the product, hard to improve upon perfection

5) big 12

they didnt die, quite yet

6) big east

they're dead
