For schools like UCF, Houston, Boise State that need to get into a bigger conference for more revenue and exposure there is a big problem. There is no direct path for them to get into a conference like the SEC or Big 12. Marc explains that what happens with the next round of tv contracts will influence conference expansion.

When you take a look at the SEC (who gets criticized a lot for some of there non-conference scheduling) 12 of the 14 teams got a pretty good list of Power 5 opponents home and home in future years. There's 2 that don't, Kentucky and Florida.

Marc explains that to the best of his knowledge UCF AD Danny White and Florida AD Scott Stricklin haven't spoken in over a week and that formal offer has been made for the 2 schools to play a series against each other in the future.

This week we've seen a lot of talk about the Tampa Bay Rays threatening to move if the city of Tampa doesn't pay for a new stadium but are those just empty threats? Can they move to another city and are those cities ready for a franchise? Plus what kind of shady business dealings is Dan Snyder getting involved with in DC?
