I don't think Missouri increased $$ for SEC teams. I don't think Colorado or Utah added money for PAC12 teams. I don't think West Virginia or TCU added money for the Big 12. If they did, it wasn't much.
Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

Pac 12 got a title game. Had to have 12 before we got one. SEC added a conference game so they could give a better game inventory. So those teams did help boost pay. It doesn’t mean a team needs to be worth 50 MM a year individually, just that you can bump your overall payment by that X amount.
WVU or TCU probably did simply because they brought inventory that allowed us to meet our contractual obligations with ESPN\Fox. That's why we didn't expand any farther after that.
Haven't read through this entire thread, but does anyone have any info on Missouri? I need to know more about them and their fans in particular.

Yeah here's some. According to Vivid seats Missouri fans buy more tickets than fans of any other school in every county in the state of Missouri.

I'm not so sure I understand the Colorado talk to the Big Ten. Colorado is all Denver Broncos. No one cares about the Buffs. I may be bias here but what do they offer that Iowa State doesn't? Both ISU and CU are AAU schools. Iowa State is a better fit geographically (although I'm sure BIG fans would love annual trips to Boulder). I'd argue Iowa State has the more rabid fanbase and thus would be more favorable in regards to streaming memberships. Id also argue Iowa State currently has the better football program and better facilities.
It's not that it's wrong, it's that it's literally the same thing. The Big 12 situation isn't some complicated thing we need untangled for us. We're acutely aware of what's happening here.
I would think so since they don't have any competition in their state. I agree with you though, Missouri is a huge state with twice the population of Iowa. People don't realize how many rural huge counties are in that state. People must just think Missouri is KC and Stl.Yeah here's some.

I have some family in Northern Missouri and also around Columbia and they are obsessed with Mizzou.
I did think about this. I can see the Big 10 going after Colorado. I can't see them admitting Utah or either of the Arizona schools.
If the bluebloods make their own non ncaa, this is a decent option. Youd end up with a couple of 16 team leagues of runners up. Colorado, Az, ISU, Purdue, Ga Tech, etc.
Thats not 300m a year for tv rights, but its not small beer G5 money either. It would be viable. Just espn would ignore you. But you could be the ncaa. You could carry the fire.
.
Colorado offers a higher ceiling but Iowa State probably has a higher floor.
It's obvious that this whole carousel ends when college football finally realizes that there simply needs to be 69 teams in the highest division.
Can you just go away? This isn’t a Mizzou board. Why are you here?
I appreciate that. I was called a Husker fan last week because I said Iowa State wasn't a better job than Nebraska. I'd rather be a Mizzou fan.
