Very simple....Money....


If substantial money is involved in adding an additional game, they will rationalize their way to justification. Frankly I can't think of any good reason not to grab an additional game if the money is good. Academics? At this point it is just a facade at most schools. If this weren't the case then....we wouldn't be paying players, we wouldn't be spending millions/year on coaches, there wouldn't be luxury facilities for athletes, there wouldn't be lower admission standards for athletes.....etc....The priorities are crystal clear....When there is enough money at stake, academics will be sacrificed. Like in Jurassic Park....The Presidents will find a way to breed more money....Any way they can.
