Does Stanford give them anything (broadcast wise) they don't have with USC/UCLA? Nope. Does it give them more cable households? Nope.

what do you mean ratings are trending up fast? Seems like everything I see -- anotherdamnyankeehokie Jun 27, 2023 at 10:41 AM ET

I think he means the importance of ratings in valuations is trending up. -- jmanatVT Jun 28, 2023 at 09:09 AM ET

Don't see the SEC going to California -- EDGEMAN Jun 27, 2023 at 09:13 AM ET

EDGEMAN • 06/27/23 09:13 AM ET

I don’t see the SEC going there either, but the B1G is probable IMHO.** -- Stech Jun 27, 2023 at 12:07 PM ET

Stech • 06/27/23 12:07 PM ET

I think his comment was that the B1G may go Stanford also.** -- hokieZ71 Jun 27, 2023 at 09:58 AM ET

Yes Stanford and Cal once the PAC can’t get a decent media deal is certain.** -- Stech Jun 27, 2023 at 12:05 PM ET

San Francisco/Northern California population is huge, yeah they want those -- Stech Jun 27, 2023 at 12:47 PM ET

San Francisco is like NY. It is a pro sports town. ** -- VT ChemE 1986 Jun 27, 2023 at 05:34 PM ET

Agreed, but the B1G expansion model for the last 9 years is take NFL cities** -- Stech Jun 27, 2023 at 07:17 PM ET

Was it part of the deal with USC/UCLA……Yep** -- CrystalCoveHokie Jun 27, 2023 at 12:15 PM ET

Think so too, IMHO the non-revs will mainly play a Regional Regular season. -- Stech Jun 27, 2023 at 12:52 PM ET

Stech • 06/27/23 12:52 PM ET

I think many of The PAC schools will be reunited in The B1G. -- 33laszlo99 Jun 27, 2023 at 04:00 PM ET
