I had always thought there was a clause in the TV contract that said we have to add two more teams in the next couple years.
Can anyone confirm that or am I crazy?

The A-10 had a bunch of Senior loaded teams this year...and they still had 5 out of 6 teams out in the first weekend.
Please, no revisionist history here. The A-10 will be horrible next year. Hell, Fordham may actually be competitive."I Got CHAMPIONS in that Lockerroom!" -Stanley Burrell

1. If the BE expands it will be because of FS1. The schools don't want it.
2. Particularly after this year, I don't see the BE expanding unless it can add a MARQUEE name. I just don't see the conference risking the perception that the conference is getting watered down further, even if it's just perception. I also don't see the likes of GTown, Villanova and Creighton (in particular) risking that further perception hit.

I would think Fox would want expansion- more tv markets. What the contract says is a different story. If the contract says "expansion required", then we'll see expansion. If the contract does not mention expansion, and there is no more tv money with expansion, then I doubt we'll see expansion, unless Fox can apply enough pressure ('we're not renewing our contract with you without more tv markets" or "we're going to exercise the early opt out clause of the contract unless you expand into St. Louis and some other large city.")
But I'm pretty sure the contract has a "nuclear clause"- "This contract is terminated immediately if Dayton is let in the league."

Creighton took a major perception hit last night, and they will take a further perception hit as they are struggling to win 15 games next year.
