[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas did not join the Big Ten because the Big Ten would not accept Oklahoma as Oklahoma is not an AAU member school. (That was the gossip discussed at that time.)

Why would the University of Florida move ????

If Florida leaves the SEC, then FSU will move to the SEC and get first choice on many top recruits.

The Big Ten and its broadcast partners want Notre Dame--even though it is not an AAU member school.

The Big Ten would accept Texas in a heartbeat.

Beyond Notre Dame and Texas, all other schools are speculation.

West Coast schools such as Stanford, Cal, Oregon, and Washington are being considered so that USC & UCLA can have regional playmates. Stanford is also attractive since it has a traditional rivalry with Notre Dame--and the Big Ten really, really, really wants Notre Dame.[/quote]

Stanford is for the #5 media market. They are going to be asked plus maybe Cal. Then the BiG has NYC, LA, Chi, DC/Balt and SF/Oak. Checkmate for dollars.[/quote]

Google search shows Dallas/Ft. Worth as the #5 media market, then San Francisco area at #6. Georgia Tech offers the Atlanta media market and an in-road to one of the top football recruiting states (Texas & Florida may be the top 2 football recruiting states. California should be among the top 5).[/quote]

Interesting but Atlanta is 90 percent for UGA.  That market is not big enough to be split .[/quote]

As long as cable packages and mandatory RSN are a thing, location is all that matters. Do you think the majority of NYC cares about Rutgers football? Even in DC, UMD gets terrible ratings. All that matters is forcing cable companies to carry the big 10 network. Once cable dies, the question is whether or not the outliers like UMD and Rutgers that don't really fit get jettisoned.
