I don't disagree with the simple media equation, but there's far more than that to be concerned about. If it was all peaches and cream (and money/media market) to be in a conference with them, we wouldn't be seeing every conference they enter collapsing. SW Conference implosion was due to Texas. B12 will eventually implode due to their ego and greed as well (most would say it's already partially collapsed). They're like a dance partner at a masquerade ball. They're appealing until they take their mask off. After that, you're looking for another partner as quickly as possible.
There's plenty of other partners available. Don't make the same mistakes that other conferences have made.
