Per the SI.com article linked below: “There are behind the scenes talks with @ESPN, @FoxSports, the #B1G and #SEC reps about how to dump those schools who bring nothing to the TV table." - Greg Swaim

This is the first I have heard about this.  Has anyone seen similar articles from other sources?

Is this the beginning of some form of “relegation” based on TV markets or potential to draw eyeballs?

Which current B1G program(s) would you “relegate” under such a system and why?

Go Bucks!

Note: I edited my original post to hopefully clarify the intent.  My apologies for not being clear from the start!  Lesson learned.
