Given that schools can have alumni and fans in every state or region of the


US, it may be incorrect to view conferences as being "regional" in this era of TV markets. Yes, the core fan base may still be regional. However, it may be better to view a conference's "value" based on the time zones within the US and a conference's TV rating within each time zone. By going with that strategy it views the conference as being a national brand just like the various pro leagues are viewed while recognizing we live in a highly mobile society.
