What I want to hear is the potential revenue increase for the Big 12 if they
expand to 12+ teams and get a TV deal, since I believe this would be the biggest determining factor for expansion or not, and if so, the best candidates.

12 team, 8 game Big12 increases playoff likelihood by 4-5 percent

Why would anyone assume the relative increase?

The point being is he didn't clarify and in the example I gave

It also seems to me like an absolute increase of 5% is still low.

No, it's actually quite meaningful considering there are 5 major conferences

I think he means the actual likelihood is probably increased even more than 5%

ADD subject line only read. I agree with the point.

If only a relative % increase, then he is REALLY pro expansion cuz that is some

I wouls say relative. I dont know a regression model that gives one absolute.

It appears they did some sort of Monte Carlo simulation of thousands

You're right I change my mind. Difference is in conditional probability.

LOL!!! I have a couple of relatives like that...

If you think about it, though, there's 4 playoff spots available and 5 P5s

The champ isn't guaranteed a spot, so not 80%

Assuming equal likelihood of each P5 conference placing a team in the playoffs
jreid191
5/3/16 11:21am
Yes, I agree that as the initial probability increases the difference
Indy Coug
5/3/16 11:16am
Based on past history, the probability is 50%
Indy Coug

Also, this ignores the added value by getting more than 1 team in

Definitely a lot of variables that their simulations would've had to account for

You assume that the Big-12 is starting with the same probability as the others

That's not an assumption. I just pulled numbers out of the air
Indy Coug

Same numbers, essentially, but different way of looking at it.

Trotter tweeted that the increase is "significant."
