So would you take Memphis and/or Wazzu? And a question about Oregon State.

And I know the state of Oregon is under your threshold, but would it be worth it to take Oregon State for an additional travel partner for Stanford and Cal and possible Wazzu? For every West Coast team we take, that's one less trans-continental trip someone needs to make. Plus, they've been conference mates for generations.

If we have 2 schools in California, we don't need a third.

People have been complaining about Syracuse and Pitt being dead weight
tarheelblue • 08/31/23 10:41 PM ET
I don’t want expansion, but if you make a case for No Cal, you need So Cal.
Stech • 08/31/23 11:14 PM ET
B1G only has SoCal schools. I don't see them trying to add a NoCal school.

What is the minimum size does a state need to be for the ACC to consider

Pretty much the top 15 in size

The distances between schools is unbelievable
mrcaniac • 09/01/23 12:43 AM ET
Illinois, Ohio, and maybe Michigan.

I could see that, but I wonder if they would go public right now with that.**
