From what I have read there is mandatory pro rata whether its 2 ($400 mil) or 4 new teams ($800 mil) for this contract. Location does not matter until the next negotiation.

If that's the case, we might see both BYU and Boise St getting football-only invites.

AAC would be fine if that happened.

I guess it does not matter that UCF is on probation still.

Assuming it's like most contracts and unless there are clauses built in for tv ratings affecting the payout, the networks pay out the money indicated to the B12 with no strings attached.

Where is the money coming from?  Do you really think a conference is going to add $400 to $800 million in payouts without being able to have the revenue to cover?  The only reason a conference will be expanding is for increased revenue  for each school.  They wouldn't be talking about expanding if it is going to be costing each school more money to do so.  

Totally wrote that wrong initially, changed now. Simply put, the way I think it is, the current network(s) contract will pay the B12 more money if they add 2 or 4 teams, period. Where that money comes is the networks problem, not the B12's and would be addressed with the next contract if they lost money.

I just see no evidence that any power conference is considering expanding past 14.

serious question: who is this guy? Is he actually in the know somehow or just some guy screwing around on Twitter? Who "told" him this?

Just another blogger out there. An anonymous source much like every other anonymous source that opinions and "facts" are being based on ... and a valuable contributor to this awesome thread, I might add.
