Regionality and Rivalries are gaining in importance


As the cable subscriber model fades some, the value of the matchup definitely increases in importance than markets.

Iowa State fits the Big Ten perfectly whereas Texas doesn't fit the Big Ten at all. The fans of the Big Ten have found out that Rutgers and Maryland don't fit either, and they are quite vocal about it. Oklahoma and Kansas would work as it reassembles some of the Big 8. Some lessons should be learned from some of these moves in 2012.

I don't think the Big Ten wants Iowa State, but they do fit.
