What do you think about Arizona State et al. going to the SEC?

The B1G is going to a monster when it comes to markets. I was thinking that when the Alliance came together, if those three conferences would even become a superconference that their markets would dwarf the SEC. But this latest action by the B1G is basically looking to do the same thing while taking on drastically less schools. But I noticed you left off ASU and also Colorado. I wonder how far West the SEC wants to go. Will ESPN pressure the SEC to take them just to protect these markets? Colorado, Utah and Arizona are all AAU. I wonder if that will have an impact on them getting into the Big Ten.

There is no way USC and UCLA go without more expansion expected...

I think Cal, Stanford, UW and UO have to be locks.

Excellent points about the variety of good VT sports

We get ratings, it’s back to ratings, that’s why Fox/ESPN took 2 from same
Stech • 06/30/22 11:59 PM ET
True. But keep in mind LA County would be 10th most populous state
HOO86 • 07/01/22 12:06 AM ET
There will be a Fox Conference and an ESPN Conference.
LonghornHokie • 06/30/22 11:49 PM ET
Yes. And I keep seeing Amazon and Apple wanting in if B1G became national
HOO86 • 07/01/22 12:00 AM ET
If anyone could outbid Fox it would probably be those two**
LonghornHokie • 07/01/22 01:44 AM ET
Very True. What we don't know is how much they want

Both the SEC and B1G have thrived getting two schools from the same state,

It this happens I would prefer the Big Ten

The SEC owns the Texas media markets.
