[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2036 when the GOR is up the big 12 and ACC will reorganize with teams shifting.

[b]The Big Ten is only interested in Florida, Texas and Notre Dame at this point.[/b] The money per school is reduced with any other schools. Oregon, Washington or Arizona May be considered just to help geographically and maybe not lose too much money per school.

Colorado, Stanford, Cal, Arizona, Washington State, Oregon State, Arizona State, Iowa State, San Diego St,  Byu, Utah, Kansas, Nevada, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, West Virginia, Connecticut, Texas Tech, Virginia, North Carolina, NC state, Virginia
Tech, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Miami, Pitt,

Will form a 28 team coast to coast conference.
It will be nice with an east and west divisions 
The Dukes of the world will join the Big East.

The Big Ten and SEC will pull away money-wise.  The Big Ten with huge alumni bases has adopted an NFL model rolling teams through major markets with huge big ten alumni populations….a genius strategy.[/quote]

Interesting thought. Probably accurate, but the Big Ten will offer U Oregon & U Washington to solidify west coast markets & to ease travel burden for USC & UCLA while preserving rivalries among those west coast schools.

Would be very difficult to pull U Florida from the SEC. Equally difficult to pull Texas into a conference without arch-rival U Oklahoma.

Notre Dame is the available & most coveted target school.

If Big Ten offers U Washington & U Oregon, then adds Notre Dame, which would be the fourth additional school invited to join the Big Ten ? (Would the Big Ten Conference entice Notre Dame to join by allowing ND to name one of its rivals as the fourth school ?)

Could Texas be persuaded ?

Could U Florida get mad at SEC for admitting FSU and/or U Miami and leave for the Big Ten Conference ?[/quote]

Florida and Texas could be persuaded.. the big ten already pays more money than the SEC and has greater academic rep. Both those schools fit culturally. [/quote]
