TCU coach Gary Patterson on the Big 12’s motivation to grow: “We’re doing all of this so we give ourselves a chance to get in the playoff. So whatever we do, it’s OK as long as that’s what the goal is. It’s the only criteria, I think, that works.

“It’s not about giving people more money. It’s about how you get in the playoff. We want to influence how peoplethink of us as a conference.”


----------
I said this earlier. People keep talking about TV markets, academics, etc. I think one of the keys is the increase in chances of getting to the playoff with 12 teams as opposed to 10.
