Right. The purpose of a merger is for teams to be able to get exposure on

the opposite coast. And for interest in both leagues to grow on each coast. Putting the two conferences together without much coast to coast play just means one less championship game and maybe one less CFP slot for the collective.

I saw each school was worth $60 million apiece but I could be wrong**

This to me demonstrates the Big Ten's weakness.

Between the SEC and Big 10
mancunian • 07/27/22 02:28 PM ET
Big Ten IMO
Maroon Baboon • 07/27/22 02:59 PM ET
I agree. The B1G is the clear #2 IMO.

This is the quantity, when is big too big and dilutes the product
Mercury • 07/27/22 09:44 AM ET
Given those numbers no P10 or B12 teams make sense for the B10
Truthahn • 07/27/22 08:39 AM ET
Would Washington or Oregon move ND's needle at all?
Atlee Hokie • 07/28/22 08:18 AM ET
Yep, next step is ACC-PAC merger. Value (and safety) with volume

I keep going back to NFL for reference. They use groups of 4
HokieAl • 07/27/22 12:56 PM ET
No Cincinnati. Texas Tech.**
LocalExperts • 07/27/22 12:44 PM ET
Don't think that will work.
hokieZ71 • 07/27/22 12:31 PM ET
Take Arizona and ASU over Utah & Colorado...
Old Line Hokie • 07/27/22 02:29 PM ET
This works as well.
HOO86 • 07/27/22 12:39 PM ET
We just did away with Divisions, why would they bring them back?
Stech • 07/27/22 12:19 PM ET

Maroon Baboon • 07/27/22 12:42 PM ET
We wouldn't have to.
HOO86 • 07/27/22 12:29 PM ET
Not a fan of VT being back in the Big Least division.**
