What if the BIG and SEC are really done? If Oregon and Washington
can't make the grade for an invite, how many blue bloods are there left that can?
How many schools left are worth 80-100M a year to the networks? If the SEC or BIg expand, they have to be worth at least that much. Those conferences might be happy with what they have, and see how this works out.
They let the PAC disintegrate, they left the B12 a shell of its former self, do they even care what happens to the ACC?
Texas, OU, and USC are blue bloods, now, and historically. Washington has an argument, but Oregon has been a football brand for just over 20 years. (I'll let you guys discuss the ACC schools, because while I have an opinion, I'm here for the info and insight).
