[QUOTE="illinoisportsfan, post: 1218844, member: 3733"] What we are seeing is a consolidation of wealth among the schools who are generating most of the revenue. Since the Big Ten is made up of mostly huge flagship universities with enormous research dollars in populous states and giant media markets, they figure to be one of the big winners. In the future, we may see one more "Power Conference" eliminated and some of the schools in that conference, such as an Iowa State or a Wake Forest, being left on the outside. It's hard to say at this point if it will come to that, but it appears some further consolidation is likely in about ten years when the current Grant of Rights for the ACC and the Big 12 end.
