Jim Delaney is looking to add to the Big Ten. The conference currently has 11 teams and is arguably the most financially successful conference across all sports due to the SEC’s relative weakness in Basketball and the Big Easts weakness in football. The Big Ten’s cable network offerings are an incredible cash cow that means that each member school gets paid more for a saturday afternoon football game share on the network than Notre Dame gets from NBC, even though Notre Dame can eat the whole pie. However, as the Big Ten looks to merge into a super conference some are questioning that the moves may not be in College Sports’ Best Interest.
