[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding the above listed 4 west coast schools would enable the Big Ten Conference to grow to 24 member schools in the near future. Football could then be divided up into 4 six team divisions with the West Coast Division consisting of the 6 former Pac-12 schools (USC, UCLA, Stanford, UCal-Berkeley, U Washington, & U Oregon). Will maintain rivalries & reasonable travel for teams.

Adding these 4 teams would push the number of Big Ten Conference member schools to 20.

Speculation as to the next 4 schools:

Notre Dame

Georgia Tech (would only happen if Clemson & FSU leave the ACC)

UNC (only if Clemson & FSU leave ACC)

Virginia (only if Clemson & FSU leave ACC)

University of Utah

U Florida (if U FLA leaves SEC due to SEC admitting in-state recruiting competition from FSU & U Miami).

Duke ???

U Pittsburgh ???

U Miami ???

If the Big Ten Conference wants to expand to 24 teams made up of three 8 team divisions, then adding AAU members [b]ASU & U Arizona becomes a possiblity[/b].[/quote]

I always thought of the Arizona schools as a better fit, athletically and academically for the Big 12.  Particularly is they lose out on Wash and Oregon. [/quote]
