In the end it will not be about "bringing anything." Think what you want but that will be out the window if teams are left behind. As I stated Universities are first and foremost a non profit ran by state and federal government. They will have final say over this.
Iowa is already self-sufficient and a net payer into the B10 pot. I have nothing against ISU specifically, but I don't see the need to add teams that we will have to subsidize. I am also a traditionalist, and really don't like the idea of jumbling these old conferences around too much.
Yes, yes they will. But you are a typical idiot Hawk who wants nothing but bad things to happen to Iowa State University. That's fine, the lawyers and politicians will have the final say not some guy sitting in his basement running crap on HN about Iowa State University. Cause as I have said endlessly, colleges and universities are the staple of the United States and are in the hands of politicians, taxpayers, state, local and federal governments and presidents and ADs. This will go far beyond football W/L's, you are an idiot to think otherwise. But I think you have already shown that

First off I could care less what others think of me, I have my opinion and I stick by it. This is not my opinion this is politics and dealing politically with non profits and state institutions is my cup of tea. Today realignment has to do with TV, I agree. Conferences are pulling in the big boys (within their region) to bring in more eyes. As conference expansion continues over the next five years this will all become political and lawyers along with politics will have a lot to say as in who fills out these super conferences. In the end tv and football will not matter, but it does today in realignments initial stages and because conferences will stay within the means of equality. But the biggest reason is the Big East and Big 12 still exist so no one is homeless. My opinion is that the four super conferences will become at least 18 members (this will begin as 16 with 1 or 2 conference still between 10 and 12 conference members). Most of this realignment will go by region with Big 10 being the Midwest. So yes, ISU will not make the round of 16 because of football, but will be in the Big 10 someday to ensure further government interaction will not be taken and to satisfy academic purposes. This is all hypothetical. Power conferences still have to come to fruition and who knows if they will, because it only means the NCAA means nothing and the not-for-profit status these schools hold is harder to justify.
Today yes, tomorrow it will not mean squat.
What does the fed producing money have to do with not-for-profit universities? Colleges are not large corporations and are not in existence to turn a profit nor to simply play football. Colleges do A LOT more than simply play football and all things in the end will be considered. And there is a lot more that goes into this outside of footballs w/l's. ISU in the end will be free and clear due to academics. I admit though cash means something today and conferences will scramble to get the top regional schools to their conferences, but to adhere to the not-for-profit tag, cash will not mean anything in future expansion. Conferences will then look to pick up "the little guys" to point at politicians and lawyers and say look this expansion was not all about profit.
Whats the semantics of the 5%? Outside of they are historically bad in football and low state population, blah blah blah, just kind of wondering.
