1. Big 12 will benefit from move of B1G and ESPN separating. Seems to be consensus among most national writers.

2. Says PAC 12 projection is a little easier to figure out by reducing USC/UCLA from the picture. States at best PAC 12 with the available media suitors may get 35 million per school. Believes Big 12 is a little harder to figure out because of subtracting two big members (OU/TX) and adding 4 more members along with 4 more markets. Still says that most likely it will be a slightly better amount per Big 12 school than PAC 12 but pretty similar.

3. Thinks things will stabilize for awhile. No additional expansion evidenced with the B1G moving on with a deal with 16 even though he believes ND will have a standing invitation.

4. Believes there is a strong case the college football playoff may go to 16 teams because of the amount of money and media suitors wanting to get involved. Says such a format will be more advantageous for Big 12 and PAC 10 teams to stay put rather than get lost in one of the two mega conferences and not make the playoff, but ultimately believes SEC and B1G will lead the way financially for college sports.
