I think Colorado is more realistic than North Carolina. No buyout to get out of their conference, Denver market, a natural rivalry for Nebraska, and closer to the other Pac-12 newcomers. They need to get the others though, because the SEC is going to raid the ACC as soon as they're able to.Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame,
North Carolina
Washington, Oregon, Utah
Likely next dominos to fall in the creation of a true Western division.
BYU and Colorado likely in the conversation, as would Stanford
I think Kansas gets revisited. Legendary b-ball program, rivalry for Nebraska, and tap into St Louis and KC markets.
Adding UCLA and Kansas basketball would be pretty crazy.
All time series:
v UCLA 4-4-1
v USC 10-13-1
Looking forward to taking both of these in the coming years.
Kansas is so awful in football but you make good points. I do wonder whether the ACC teams will find a workaround, and whether the southern v northern lines hold or if the B1G snags a team like Florida State or Clemson. Culturally, the SEC certainly makes more sense for them.
Purdue and Illinois have been members of the Big Ten since 1896. They aren't going anywhere. I highly doubt they would get rid of Rutgers or Maryland either.Gotta start dropping some of these scrub teams now.
Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, Illinois….
End goal should be about 16-20 total blue blood massive schools….
It’s gonna end up as the Big 10 and SEC basically the AFC and NFC of CFB.

Gotta get Stanford and Cal.
I’d take them over UVA and NC. And ND over Kansas.
Can’t wait till “Big Ten Icons: John Wooden”
