If I'm the Big 10 I'm going to add 2 more from the west to creat a 6 team -- hokiees Dec 29, 2023 at 11:18 AM ET

It’s highly unlikely that any conference is going past 20 members -- WBGV Dec 29, 2023 at 01:36 PM ET

They already have 2 Cali schools. I'd add 2 from Utah, Colorado, or Arizona** -- tarheelblue Dec 29, 2023 at 01:10 PM ET

I thought from the start that Utah/Colorado would be naturals. If not, -- reestuart Dec 29, 2023 at 01:15 PM ET

Good point on Arizona and it is the 14th largest state. -- hokiees Dec 29, 2023 at 01:28 PM ET

Yep. Locking down 3 separate national networks was a brilliant move.** -- reestuart Dec 29, 2023 at 02:18 PM ET

I'm kinda surprised no one has touched the AZ schools. -- Maroon Baboon Dec 29, 2023 at 01:15 PM ET

Getting the instate carriage fees for the ACCN in Cali made financial sense** -- tarheelblue Dec 29, 2023 at 05:32 PM ET

They had their chance to do that for almost nothing and didn’t do it. -- Stech Dec 29, 2023 at 11:31 AM ET

Timing was not right to go that big at the time. ** -- VTCALS72 Dec 29, 2023 at 12:55 PM ET

VTCALS72 • 12/29/23 12:55 PM ET

They basically went for free, I don’t see it happening, I think the B1G has -- Stech Dec 29, 2023 at 02:31 PM ET

If it were financially attractive for the BIG to add Cal and Stanford -- VT ChemE 1986 Dec 29, 2023 at 11:26 AM ET
