Two premises:
1. Nobody is going to expand if it doesn't guarantee them more money.
2. There are very few schools out there who command that guarantee. Texas and Notre Dame might be the only two.
Sure, the Big 10 might get a few more dollars with Missouri, but who else?
The SEC is already paying out close to what the Pac-16 claims it would. Don't tell me UVA and VaTech are going to make that big of a difference.
Everywhere I go I read about this "domino" effect, but nobody ever puts any facts out to back it up.
Conclusion: The armageddon predictions of a domino effect might just be overstated. It could be that the Pac-16 makes a huge expansion and the Big 10 makes minimal additions with the Big 12 picking up the pieces. But, everybody else might just stay put.
Somebody show me the facts as to why that's unlikely...
