CU relates itself better heading West than East. I do not think they will ever leave the Pac 12 unless something extremely seismic happens and the Pac 12 no longer ceases to be the Pac 12Not sure Colorado wants out of Pac, but for more $ they might. Not sure they (and Kansas) work for BIG economics too, Delaney didn't even want Missery. Who knows? I think the BIG does nothing, possibly just take Kansas.
Notre Dame has the largest fan base in the country - no other program comes close, they stand alone at the top with tens of millions of fans coast to coast. Bringing in ND would also bring NBC and affiliates. Fox (B10) plus NBC (Notre Dame) broadcasting B10 games would effectively counter ESPN's push IMHO.Notre Dame. Hands down. They'd instantly be my most hated conference rival. We should be in the same division with the Irish.
You might think the Buffs are happy campers in the PAC-12 but the PAC-12 Network has been a train wreck, the logistics to the West Coast are nasty, the money has been disappointing and the rivalries aren't there. And here is a petition to get Colorado to move to the B1G: Colorado to B1GCU relates itself better heading West than East. I do not think they will ever leave the Pac 12 unless something extremely seismic happens and the Pac 12 no longer ceases to be the Pac 12
Just got back from Montana. We have always felt the influence of California here in Washington State. The same thing is now in full effect in Western Montana. Californians everywhere and buying up property as fast as they can. Do you feel it in Nebraska?
Have Ohio State and Michigan to go to the SEC, kill the B1G, and get this thing over with sooner than later.Baylor

Tried to make this a poll but there were too many picks. These are all the realistic teams I could think of.
Assuming they take 2... From a fan perspective, I miss the short road trips to KU and KSU, so I'd selfishly want those back. I think the best picks for the conference would be North Carolina & Virginia, assuming they could be poached from the ACC. Despite Notre Dame's recent success, the Irish Catholic influence & the ND brand is starting to fade a bit. Long term I think NC & UVA are the better picks. JMO.
Don't think they're in play. Aren't they locked into the ACC till year 2525?
Only see KU on the list that would come in.. Others won’t leave the ACC..1) ND (not happening though)
2) Kansas
3) North Carolina
4) Virginia
- Screw any PAC12 teams and for cryin out loud hire a new commissioner asap!!!
Personally I would say no we don't see Californian's here. Having said that now I m going to prove that statement as hypocritical.CU relates itself better heading West than East.

2000-2019:So says a fan from one of the shittiest teams in the B1G. The mistake was made when Nebby joined.
ND would be a grand slam. I agree bigger than TX and OU.Notre Dame has the largest fan base in the country - no other program comes close, they stand alone at the top with tens of millions of fans coast to coast. Bringing in ND would also bring NBC and affiliates. Fox (B10) plus NBC (Notre Dame) broadcasting B10 games would effectively counter ESPN's push IMHO.
Also, the Big Ten Network adds value and is very profitable as well.
Kevin is the Joe Biden of commisioners. In way over his head. Dumber than a sack of hammers. Makes terrible decisions. Let's other's walk all over him while he says nothing to see here. Everything is A OK.ND would be a grand slam. I agree bigger than TX and OU.
I heard some rumors about PAC 12...USC UCLA Standfor and Oregon or CO. I could be pretty happy about that. Getting LA market would be huge.
The rumor mill is pretty crazy right now. I just hope Barry takes control of any and all discussions. Kevin is in WAY over his head.
The BIG is quite tolerant of shitty play, as the Herkies haven't won anything of significance in a century, yet are still members.So says a fan from one of the shittiest teams in the B1G. The mistake was made when Nebby joined.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lincoln's own Zager and Evans with "2525"!I can’t believe the teams signed away their grant of rights until 2525. I am not sure that many of us are going to be around or concerned about the year 2525 in our lifetime.
And here you are lapping up everything I say. You are my bitch. Stay put and I’ll let you know what to do next.So says a fan from one of the shittiest teams in the B1G. The mistake was made when Nebby joined.
6 in a row and 7 of the last 8 disagrees.2000-2019:
Ioway 161-94
Nebraska 159-98
Looks like your herkies have been just as shitting since KF became head coach..
So that is what you and Herky buddy are going to hang your hat on…. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼So you have the Hero’s trophy to show for it…6 in a row and 7 of the last 8 disagrees.
You may be right. It all would start and end with Notre Dame. IF you could get Notre Dame, you find some other school to round things out. At that point it wouldn't matter all that much who it was. ISU etal would come begging to get in. Otherwise I don't think it matters if you have 14 or 16 teams.I tend to agree. Although the more I think about it and look at it from a financial standpoint, the more I think the Big Ten could just stand pat at 14 and not add anyone.
As I wrote in another thread, there is a limited number of true P5 teams, if that number is 64 or 65 then maybe you get to four 16 team leagues. I think if the Big 12 goes away you will probably see some schools like a Houston, BYU, Boise St, UCF or Cincinnati that will make a jump and other schools like Vandy, Wake Forest, TCU or Utah could fall out.
ISU's biggest problem is that they really have no tradition, no curb appeal, they bring in no market that Iowa doesn't already own in that state. I attended ISU, however I just don't see the Big 10 Brass thinking ISU will be a money making addition. Kansas, although they bring zilch to the football world would be great for basketball, and deliver the KC market. The Leprechaun's in South Bend would be a perfect fit, for the big ten and for them, however they seem to have no interest in the big ten. I would love to see a Clemson, and even a Florida State, however I am not sure either would like playing games in the North in November. LOLI know Iowa will fight like HELL to keep Iowa State from joining the Big Ten.
You can cross ISU off that list.

Supposedly the story is that the B1G would only be willing to take schools who are members of the AAU. Iowa State and KU fit that description. Okie State, OU and TaM do not.ISU's biggest problem is that they really have no tradition, no curb appeal, they bring in no market that Iowa doesn't already own in that state.
