It makes more sense that way. The way I see it, there will end up being 5 major conferences, 3 with 16, 2 with 12. It makes much more sense for schools that want to jump to go to a conference that is free to renegotiate its contract in the next 18 months than a conference that is locked in for the next 10 years.
