I believe pods would be 9 IC games ... 3 in your pod each year, 2 from the other 3 pods, rotating. That's 9 games per year, playing every teams at least every other year, with a home and away in a 4 year period.
No one is going to vote against an extra 30 million a year.

Streaming doesn't affect the value of markets. It's just a different way of delivering content. When you assign value to a market, it's how many eyeballs, and in particular buying eyeballs you have. If that's the cost of a stream, or advertising, at the end of the day what matters is how many people are consuming the content. While the state of WV, or its largest cities are no prize, it could be that you have enough rabid WVU fans that it would make sense to get into the ACC. Also, it's not like WV eyeballs are shared ... I would guess most WVU residents that have televisions are WVU fans. Maybe a few Marshal fans, I suppose.

LOL ... honestly, I am so far behind in the thread I read it backwards. I hereby edit my post to read, "As ElTexan said, ..."If you’re just gonna copy my script, there’s a QUote button on the lower right.
Well, yes, that's true. I stand corrected. You're right. Just can't see the logic in what you are trying to do but it all boils down to the Aggies and the Horns hate each other. I'm cool with that. I used to be in College Station a lot when we were drilling a bunch of wells in that area and I could never quite get over the feeling that the hate is more of a big brother/little brother thing. My Gawd......look at aTm. It's a fantastic university and with a long history of graduates accomplishing good things. But then the aTm people turn around and let Texas get under their skin and, frankly, act childish about it. I wish you were laughing at UT and begging their sorry ass to play you again so you could beat the snot out of them. That would fit the profile a lot better for how the typical Aggie wants other people to see him/her.
AAC has a strong argument for becoming a P5 if the Big 12 goes away and they pick up some Schools. If they added the majority of schools left in the Big 12 they would get close to 16 and crap ton more eyeballs. You probably loose Kansas to the B1G and maybe Iowa State but everyone else needs a landing. With a 12 team playoff that would be an automatic conference champ bid without P5 status.
By the way, if this happens there are going to be some old Ark and Texas fans really happy. I saw one Pod system that had Texas with Arkansas, A&M, and OU. That is actually bringing back some historic rivalry games. I doubt there are many people in the board that actually experienced Texas/Ark rivalry in its heyday, but the stories paint it as an ugly hate filled rivalry
With steaming the market is the world. The metric is simple number of subscribers regardless where they come from.
Won’t happen. Pods will have to be more balance and OU, Texas and aTm are three big draws.
