    The big ten is actually dumb af for sitting on 16. Adding Oregon/UW/unc/Duke/fsu/Miami would put it on par with the sec + make it the premiere basketball conference. Only a few schools really generate money from Bball, and the big ten would then have most of them (Duke, unc, md, msu, UM, Wisconsin, Illinois, purdue, ucla)

    They can't sit at 16. It's an arms race with the SEC and they only have 2 west coast schools.

    Sure they want to expand east and get some schools that could either go SEC or B1G, but they can't leave the LA schools on an island.

    No one here is mentioning that you have to appease your largest customer, which is FOX. FOX wants a West Coast pod.
    Sure doesn’t seem like FOX cares about that. They could have UW & OR any time they want in the BIG10. And yet here we are…
    Simple math equation. Fox and the B10 doesn't need UW/Oregon until the SEC expands, so why would Fox pay more and why would the B10 schools split the pie more ways taking money out of the pocket.
    Because long term there will be 24 teams per conference and there aren't that many good brands left. There are only 2 remaining in the west.

    No one wants to be stuck having to take Virginia Tech or Georgia Tech to round out their league.
    Vtech is a legitimate program with support. These decisions aren't based on the past 3 years of on field performance

    In reality people make to big a deal about flying time and distance. The reason regional matchups matter is because of culture and history not because it take an extra hour to get somewhere



    Madison isnt terrible, but what about Maryland, Rutgers, college station?

    Meh. It’s not like you’d have to do it every year. With a 20-team conference you could figure a scheduling system that is doable.

    Total travel time does matter though. The 30-90 minute bus ride to the airport, the connecting flight, all that adds up.

    Waiting for Fleenor to report after working the phones and talking to his golf buddies.
    Is Bill still swinging those Rifle 7.0 broomsticks in his irons? Report back when you hear something.
