[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fit & athletic quality is going to be secondary to #of cable households for the Big 10. They already got burned by Nebraska.

I live in midwest, where B1G expansion has been a hot topic for decades. For a long time I seem to recall the 2 names that always came up when expansion was discussed were Texas & UNC. So I don’t get the guy who said B1G wasn’t interested in UNC.

Dark horse to Big 10 is Boston College, which would bring in every TV in New England. That’s another one that has been discussed for a long time. It’s easy to scoff at this one, but it must gnaw at their greedy guts to see a cluster 6 states unsullied by B1G slobber.

Re the Stanford athletes are going to get tired on long plane rides. Yeah, cuz these decision makers are sweating whether the swim team gets their beauty sleep.

Kinda cruel how early in the thread the Midwest geography snobs toyed with the slicker who thought Iowa was in Ames. Congrats to whoever finally stepped forward & put a stop to the tormenting by pointing out Iowa is in Iowa City. [/quote]

The above poster is wrong; BC is NOT a candidate for membership in either the Big Ten or the SEC. Boston is a pro sports town with little interest in college athletics compared to other regions of the country.

The above poster is also wrong about the top two desired teams for Big Ten expansion; yes, Texas was one, but the other is and was Notre Dame, not UNC.

The above poster is also wrong about concerns regarding travel by West Coast schools who leave the Pac 12. It is a widely discussed topic. That is one reason why Oregon & Washington will be joining the Big Ten in 2025 after the addition of USC & UCLA. Expect Standford & UCal-Berkeley to soon follow Oregon & Washington.[/quote]

Teams not playing elite football [i]now are not joining the Big Ten or SEC. Elite means CFP within the past few years. It’s that simple. [/quote]
