but see you are comparing 3 weekends of basketball to 4 months of football! everyweek of football is as important as march madness's 3 weeks.
over a month of tourney time to be exact if you count the conference tourneys.

come bowl season...how many worthy games are there truly? 10 maybe? all bowl games our heavily sponsored aswell, so there is all kinds of teams that make money for their universities and conferences when they are in these games. cbb is not like that so they aren't able to generate the funds like cfb can throughout the season.

this all boils down to the playoffs that are heading cfb's way in the near future, it will be interesting how this all unfolds thats for sure.

ok put it this way, unless you are duke, north carolina, kansas, louisville, gonzaga and kentucky your football program brings in much much more money for your school then basketball does, and its not even close.

and thats why basketball isnt in the discussions like you asked.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- High level sources in multiple conferences have told KCTV5 that Texas and Texas A&M are looking to move to the Big Ten Conference and have petitioned for membership, while the University of Oklahoma is planning on petitioning the Southeastern Conference to become a member of its conference.

KCTV5's sources said that Texas and Texas A&M do not have to include Texas Tech or Baylor in their plans. Sources told KCTV5 that there have already been discussions about the two schools entering the Big Ten and that the agreement could be made as soon as Thursday.

Oklahoma is currently working on petitioning to enter the SEC, but must find another university to enter the league with them, sources said. TMZ Sports has reported that Oklahoma State is likely to accept a bid to move to the Pac-10. Earlier Thursday, Colorado accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10.

Reports are in that the SEC has extended an invite to TAMU and UT...however, UT wants NO PART of the SEC, and is ready to go over to the the Pac-10 or maybe the B10. However, it is now in TAMU's court. Oklahoma will do whatever UT does.
