If UO and UW want to call the B1G's bluff, they should be talking to the

ACC. Or at least make the appearance that they are. The B1G obviously thinks they can keep UO and UW's heels cooling in the lobby. Pretty offensive if you ask me, but I digress. Anyhow, if UO and UW are threatening to spearhead a cohort of schools (let's say at least all the P12 North schools) to the ACC, that would get the B1G's attention. Because if the 1) the ACC GOR is bulletproof and 2) the most desirable expansion candidates in the West sign it, then the B1G would have to wait until the 2030s to have prime travel partners for USC and UCLA. The twisted part of me wants to see this B1G current expansion plan to cherry pick just 2 schools off the West Coast, put into practice. I mean the part of having USC and UCLA play basically all their conference games 2 or 3 time zones away. I'd love to see them have no way out of this.

If the B1G and SEC are concerned about "blue bloods"...

Could you imagine a league of ALL “Blue Bloods”

If the powers that be really want to make money….

I'd hardly put Miami in the blue blood category if you are limiting it

Miami has FIVE national championships in football in my lifetime.

Five NAt’s in 40 years is more than Georgia, Penn State, Michigan combined.**

I'd trade Penn State for Miami in the conference any day of the week.**

This, and 1/2 of them would be below .500. I'll take the MAC.**

OU and Washington are in a tough place. If they signed

Do they have to get a return this year?

With 12 playoff spots, ratings will soar for all of the teams in the mix,
Big12 guy 08/04/23 11:47 AM ET
No schools individually are - or maybe even in pairs

Oregon/Wash to B1G seems forgone conclusion based
Colonel Jessup 08/03/23 05:36 PM ET
Yeah, Oregon and Washington will get half shares until the next contract in

The B1G might control the west coast market but the ACC...
Old Line Hokie 08/03/23 07:07 PM ET
There are no properties left that move the needle
Vienna_Hokie 08/03/23 05:17 PM ET
I agree with all of that - so the BIG might be done, and done
Big12 guy 08/03/23 05:39 PM ET
Despite that thorough analysis, I suggest that we keep the CR board
