Jeff Ermann of InsideMDSports is your source?

Guy called the Maryland move to the B-10. That gives him some cred. I just don’t see UNC, makes no travel sense. It’s ND, Furd, UO and UW.whatshouldicareabout said:Jeff Ermann of InsideMDSports is your source?
Did read a source on tOSU claiming ND and Furd would be announced this week.
Those are the 4 that make the most sense and it gives the B-10 nearly 1/2 of the PAC-12. -
I like to think of it as the collegiate NFL. The Big 10 (afc) and the SEC (nfc). 4 team mini big 10 playoff and a 4 team mini SEC playoff. Each conference winner then plays the other for the National Championship. Creates an 8 team playoff.DerekJohnson said:
I see the merit... but... two conference playoff games?greenblood said:
It also gives Notre Dame another natural rivalry as well. With USC, Michigan, Michigan St., Stanford, Notre Dame would feel even more comfortable. I think there is some merit between Oregon, Washington, and UNC fighting for the other 2 spots. I think Oregon and Washington have the edge, because a 20 team big 10 opens up a 5 team 4 division conference. With the Big 10 west consisting of Washington, Oregon, Stanford, USC, and UCLA.DerekJohnson said:

Agreed that Stanford gets a big added bump by being a ND historical rival. ND will only fully join a football conference if they can continue to play all across the country and maintain their national brand. The B1G as constituted now gives them that.greenblood said:

If this all happens this year I don't see how UNC gets out of its grant of rights through 2036, but otherwise it would be the logical top candidate in the east.
A 20 team B1G, with ND, likely picks 3 from UW/UO/Cal/Furd
A 20 team B1G without ND probably doesn't happen for a while, but would probably have UNC as the additional eastern team.
A 24 team B1G would require ND and would open up potential options for Colorado, an Arizona school, Georgia Tech, Miami and others... -
Not on this topic it doesn't. The B1G doesn't give a flying fuck about Maryland anyways.46XiJCAB said:

I'm tuning out on all this shit for a long time. I'll see my fellow doogs in the Shit 12/Big 12 in a few months. -
Yeah, Stanford doesn't make a lot of sense in a lot of ways, but they do open up Big Ten to a big TV market on paper, open up recruiting in the Bay Area (even though it's dying) and the Central Valley a bit, and a ton of Big Ten alums, and I'm sure wealthy ones are in the Bay Area. Also gives the LA schools someone to play with less travel.whlinder said:

Most articles I’ve read say Oregon and Washington top 1 and 2 candidates.
I vote for pea patch. -
Is that how you’d do it?CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
If you go with 2 super conferences, each with 20 teams in 4 divisions, you have seeded conference playoffs amongst the 4 divisions. The 2 winners go to the playoffs.DerekJohnson said:

I don’t like it because the big bowl games will always be superior but it could happen. -
