New tv deal for the Big 12 gives them $2.6 billion over 13 years - that's $20 million per team per year (10 teams).

If you are a Big 12 team, why would you want to expand? Is Louisville worth more than $20 million per year over a 13 year time frame?

This could be good for the Big East having this type of contract out there to use when negotiating with the networks. May also make many in the Big 12 reconsider adding anymore teams. $20 mil per team, why mess with that by adding schools unless one of them is named ND.
