It would benefit the Big 12 more if those 2 went the the big 10. IF those 2 stay, I can see the PAC making a run at some Big 12 with the TV deal coming in 2024.

Man if Notre Dame were to join BT that blows the lid off.
Your consistent presence here is weird too.
Why do you care so much? it adds to the discussion
Probably just semantics here. Obv I agree calls and talks were had after the news broke yesterday. Going through the application process means that it is a done deal at that point and that is what I was referring to.

If the ultimate goal is 20 teams the B1G, and the new additions, would probably like Oregon/Washington, Stanford to basically corner the west coast and it makes travel easier.
Leave 1 spot for ND (homerun) or someone else in the east...Maybe NC or Virginia. If it's 24 the SEC/B1G divide up the ACC.
b12 takes Arizona/ASU/CU/Utah/Cal maybe Louisville from the ACC? Maybe take WSU/osu to work their way to 24...
Who knows...
Three super conferences might be the end game. B1G/SEC/B12

Why is all the B1G fans on this board so sure that the B1G wont expand, wont grab more, that they wont do this or that. Do you all take everything your Commish says as Gospel? Last week you were SURE they wouldnt expand, because it didnt give you any advantage, and because Warren said, and no way they would go all the way to the West Coast. Kept telling me no way. Now you say oh they arent going to take Oregon or washington. blah blah. They are going to wait for ND and NC. Because you follow a guy on Twitter that says that, who has no grasp on reality and how a GOR works.
It'll be a game of chicken with them trying to raid each other if Pac stays at 10.
There were a lot of reports that new Big 12 was on par with Pac and ACC per school. Less than it was, but dramatically higher than American.
If those are anywhere near true the Pac is not more valuable minus SoCal and those two brands.
Geography may not matter for the giant cash pro conferences...but it might matter to this second tier of Pac/Big 12/ACC. Adding the 4 mountain schools to the Big 12 is a great geographic fit without a lot of overlap. Current B12 schools going to pacific northwest is not a fit for any team.
Something like a 150 million buy out from the current ACC agreement. Not that much in the grand scheme of things.
That guy was correct on USC spanning back to March lol. Time to give him a little credit. If the big is waiting on ND, and ND has not made it public they are staying with the status quo, then there is smoke there.
How am I supposed to stay focused on the dissolution of college football as we know it when you use the term boob. Now I'm distracted and considerably happier.
Have you heard that lawsuits filed against MSU, Iowa and Penn State could also drain the Big10 of up to half of their TV money for the next 10 years?
So you think calling and saying we want in, and asking to talk to the members if they can get in before they submit an official app is.......anything different. The official app is just a technicality. Everyone knows what the answer is going to be before that is even sent.
Just saw Dodd on CBS sports channel say a Big10 source told him Oregon and Washington don't bring enough value to the conference - if true wow!

There wasn’t any real talk of expansion untill USC/UCLA reached out and said they were moving away from the PAC no matter what. It forced the big tens hand and caused a lot of this to be a bit rushed. Could the big ten add Oregon and Washington, absolutely. Will they be doing it soon? All indications point to no.
Got a link for that? Never heard of anything along those lines.
