[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BC is not a Big Ten school on any metric.

The likely expansion targets (In no order other than ND):

Notre Dame
U-Washington
U-Colorado
Stanford
U-Oregon
UVA
UNC
UFlorida
[/quote]

Great list !

However, I do not understand why the University of Florida would leave the SEC. Eventually the SEC will renegotiate the broadcast rights and pay schools in line with the Big Ten so I doubt that money would be the reason. Can anyone help me to understand why Florida is a reasonable Big Ten target ?[/quote]

Not a great list.  BC brings NE tv coverage for all schools.  UVA is not leaving with Tech left somewhere lesser.  State political issue; not really up to the schools.  Same is true for UNC and Florida.  They will not leave SEC as State will get in.  Wa, Or, and Co fit but they bring nothing.

The University of Washington would bring the Seattle broadcast media market and would add academic research prestige to the Big Ten. The University of Washington at Seattle has the 5th highest R&D expenditures among all US universities (Johns Hopkins, Michigan, UC-SF medical, U Penn, University of Washington at Seattle)[/quote]
