The only two teams that make any sense going the B1G is Oklahoma and Kansas.
Oklahoma has the Blueblood status. Kansas has Basketball plus it's school fits in as a B1G campus. TCU, Baylor or any other Big 12 school just doesn't make sense. Texas has the Blueblood status but they don't play well with others. And plus in my opinion it would be beyond stupid to offer Texas a spot. Let them go to the Pac where they would fit in better then with the true conference mentality the B1G has.
I guess I suggested tcu and baylor is because:
A. the reason 0u clings so tight to ut is because they say it gives them playing time in texas for recruits. (which is their life blood, a quick look at oklahoma's roster is basically texans) Im thinking just replace ut with baylor and tcu. this could help justify the switch for 0u. I wouldn't want to see 0u enter the big 10 and be flat because they don't get anymore texas recruits. they don't know how to recruit all over like Nebraska. cause they never had to.
B. for the reason above, Nebraska playing tcu and baylor gives us exposer in texas. then you can tell the texas players parents, hey, you can drive to see your son play. at baylor, tcu and oklahoma. sometimes the best players don't have rich parents, so being able to drive to see their kid is a plus.
C. texas cable and the big 10, if baylor and tcu continue to produce they could bring a lot of tv's.
now I could take 0u, ku..and stop there..but some in this thread suggested more.
I would be ok with nd, but they have that texas attitude.
I would be ok with a florida state, or usc..for recruiting and tv markets, but that don't seem to be happening.
plus it would make no geological sence.
so I was just throwing out 2 teams in addition to 0u and ku, who might be worth it.
the tar heels might be a decent team to get, I think they have some tv pull.
west virgina plays decent football, but Im not sure they bring the tv sets.
teams like houston, smu, texas tech, and ut seem to have a shady history.
