I don't want to be that guy who makes the sixth post about the same subject, but this seems to indicate we may have more to go. I wonder if we go for the rest of the good West Coast Schools.

Academically and culturally UNC and Duke would likely fit better in the B1G. I think there's a way for the ACC to survive as long as they go on an immediate shopping spree in the big 12/Pac 12. Kansas would be a natural starting point for them. Locking down ND would be huge. They might not be as strong as the B1G or SEC but they could have an ok football conference and a very good basektball conference.

I am a Michigan grad, season ticket holder and lived in the LA area for over 30 years. A colleague of mine is former OU Ducks player and doesn’t see the Ducks joining the B1G Ten. I think we are done at USC and UCLA. We capture the LA media market which is a huge value driver for next TV contract. Rest of the Pac 12 schools would be dilutive from a revenue sharing perspective.

  • Stanford and Cal come along to preserve a possible "West division;" Oregon/UW sign on as well
  • B1G scoops up UVA/UNC/Duke from the ghost of the ACC once the SEC takes Clemson/FSU/The U. UVA/UNC/Duke aren't "Southern enough."
  • NOW: you go to Notre Dame, and say "we all talked, either join us or we're all done with you." They're on board.

For lacrosse fans, this "super conference" is a dream... BUT, now the powers that be in Ann Arbor start appealing for a division of:

UVA
UNC
Duke
Northwestern
Michigan
Stanford
Cal
Notre Dame

We call it a "blue-collar Ivy League" for academic cache. OSU/MSU/PSU/USC/UCLA/Oregon can duke it out in the "we know how to do this NIL thing" division...
