And ND laughed and said, we can join whenever we want to.

I heard they faxed a request.At this point, at best, they've probably made the phone call.
This....people on this board believe anything they find on twitter.I don’t believe that Oregon and Washington have applied for big ten membership yet
I saw an actual news story with reaction from Penn States staff. Sure sounded like a done deal.This....people on this board believe anything they find on twitter.
I don't feel we will ever see Super Leagues after Big10 & SEC dump teams. No way middling SEC or Big10 teams want to be bottom feeders in a Super League.Which teams do you think will make the cut when the elites from the SEC and B1G split off from the rest of their conferences to form the SuperLeague in 2028?
Just wait until climate change and rising sea levels screw everything up. The West feels like it is constantly on fire and Florida is sinking into the ocean. The Northern states should just play the long game and wait until everyone starts moving back up here because winters are no longer so bad and southern summers are unbearable.Don't get me wrong. All those teams make sense for the Big 12. But the Big 10 has a presence in the central and Eastern time zone, and those are biggest by far. The eastern has 47.6% and the central 29.1%. 3/4 people in the US live East of the Rockies.
Also in terms of percentage growth, starting with a smaller number makes the percentage look big. Texas and Florida added more people than any other state according to the 2020 census.
They should want to stay paired up with USC and UCLA for sure.Reported all over that they were eyeing the Big Ten. It is inevitable.
NC state fans know by heart how many schools have to vote to dissolve ACC. That is the number of teams the SEC and big 10 have to take. It is interesting.Diving into forums across the country is fun right now. Wazzu playing out all the scenarios where they aren't screwed, without acknowledging its a possibility. Zona St laughing at WSU, OSU, and lumping in rival Zona as they won't land anywhere, acknowledging they likely won't make the B1G. Some want a revamped PAC and some want Big12. B1G fans wondering who they're grabbing next. One interesting option was doing the anti SEC and grabbing blueblood basketball UNC/Duke/Kansas. Florida State fans trying to figure out how they get out of the GOR and land safely in the SEC despite Florida. NC St fans acknowledge ACC's time is limited hoping for SEC landing spot. What a soap opera!?!?!
They can hope in one hand, and **** in the other, and see what fills up first.Texas and OU have to be licking at the chops of the Big 12 still collapsing and getting out of their exit fees.
I think the Big 10 would much rather poach ACC teams than the remaining Pac 12 teams.NC state fans know by heart how many schools have to vote to dissolve ACC. That is the number of teams the SEC and big 10 have to take. It is interesting.

I love Aus but that continent can't support a ton of people. The coasts are beautiful but the interior is the outback for a reason.
I still have a hard time believing that ND will ever join the Big 10. Seems they like to stick it to them more than anything. After ND, UNC and Virginia are the top choices for the Big 10. If they don't get ND, then I could see them adding Oregon and Washington to get to 20.I agree, I think after the clear #1 of Notre Dame, UNC and Virginia would most interesting to the B1G. That’s 19; Duke makes 20 (hard to turn down that basketball brand).
SEC could add Florida State, NC State, Clemson, Virginia Tech for 20 as well.
I have a hard time seeing there being only a so called “Power 2” with programs like Miami and Oregon on the outside though.
You could be right, but why would ESPN pay those 4 teams $375M combined when they could pay OSU $200M and the other three $25M each?I don't feel we will ever see Super Leagues after Big10 & SEC dump teams. No way middling SEC or Big10 teams want to be bottom feeders in a Super League.
The next push by elites will be uneven revenue sharing. For example Tha Ohio State will gladly take $150M annually. AND Iowa, Indiana, Illinois will thankfully take $75M annually to be part of the League.
Yeah these places will never hold the population the rest of the country does. You will start filling in those spots about the time we are terraforming Mars.I huge part of southeast CA/NV/Utah/AZ is same way. Large part of it just shouldn't be permanently populated and the areas that do make sense (northern Utah, high elevation AZ) didn't start growing until 100 years after the rest of the country. People talk about how wild and unlivable Australia is with all the poisonous desert creatures. Arizona has that too, I saw a giant centipede the size of my forearm that might as well have been a space alien.
