"The only safe prediction from the fallout is that the lawyers are licking their chops"
Plenty of dominoes left to fall, but my best guess is B12 robs AAC (why the hell not after this?), AAC robs MWC/CUSA, ... and everybody hates the SEC
Why shouldn’t ESPN get to pick and choose? They write the checks.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
Many say its about geography and eyeballs. Geography is nearly not a thing anymore considering the SEC and B1G.
If I was a conference I would invite as many as I can, capture eyeballs, and create a monopoly on games available- assist in scheduling top to bottom. SEC has a stranglehold on the biggest games now. Battle is for 3rd tier games.
Think marketing vs. football/tradition. Really odd to me that mid conferences haven’t taken this approach. The debunked idea of grabbing the whole MVFC? Or top teams from MVFC and Big Sky? I think would be brilliant. Simply put them in a division within my conference. Yeah yeah current dollars shared- but future dollars saved before my top teams start getting plucked.
