Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wrote a blog post Sunday encouraging Texas and Oklahoma remain in the Big 12 and downplaying the negative effects Texas A&M's departure could have on the troubled conference. Why? Money. "The big college TV networks -- Fox, ESPN, CBS -- pay for quality, not quantity," Cuban wrote. "They need marquee match-ups that are 'Must Tweet TV.' The number of schools in a conference actually reduce the parity and quality of match-ups in a conference. The networks will not pay up for that."

I think Cuban is just trying to stir up trouble in order to bring the whole system down, so that he can be in on whatever replaces the BCS.

I think you've got it. But if the college presidents have held out on keeping the BCS come hell or high water for this long, there's no way a loon like Cuban is going to change their minds

He's right. The larger the league does not mean a better product on the field. It means a lot of match ups that no one cares about.
