Uh, you totally ignored the academic case for UNC and Virginia. Sure, UNC can go to the SEC and rival with South Carolina. Virginia is a basketball (Bennett's father coached at Wisconsin), football (Maryland is a natural rival), and academic fit. Plus the B1G already raids Virginia for recruits. Haggans was one of the most sought after WR coordinators in the country at UVA and bolted to PSU this past offseason.
Maybe PSU in football? The PSU that went 11-2 and beat the hell out of Utah in a down year? PSU has the most NY6 Bowl wins than any team that didn't win a natty. It's one of 4 schools to have 6 or more players drafted to the NFL the last 6 consecutive years? If PSU wasn't in a suicide pact with OSU and Michigan every year, they'd be undefeated or 1 loss. PSU who is 3-3 against Michigan the last 6 years and 6-6 the last 12? Okay…
You talk about the acc like it is 1990 again, bball has been down for YEARS!
I am a Buckeye fan. Let me bring you up to date on what is happening in the B1G.
The B1G has ambitions to create a coat-to-coast conference. You need to understand that the B1G presidents are adamant that any deals to add teams must not be dilutive. This rule makes the financial hurdle for expanding the conference EXTREMELY high.
The B1G also prefers AAU schools. Fifteen of the sixteen schools of the 2024 conference will be qualified as AAU.
There is a very short list of schools in play to augment the B1G. At best, I can see the expansion going to twenty-two teams.
In the summer of 2021 after the Texas and Oklahoma announcement, B1G officials requested that the networks run the numbers on USC, Oregon, UCLA, Washington, Stanford, Cal, and Utah. Their intention was to poach the PAC-12 and create a West Wing.
Many B1G officials were expecting the first target to be Oregon/USC. Surprise, surprise, surprise. The numbers favored Los Angeles with Oregon and Washington as the second preference. Stanford, Cal, and Utah did not clear the financial hurdle. (More on this later.)
USC and UCLA we never going to be left on an island 1500 miles west of Lincoln, Nebraska. Oregon and Washington were identified by the networks as potentially making the grade and, at this point, have been "cleared and vetted." The two schools have been sitting by their respective phones drooling over a future $100,000,000 annual B1G payout. Sometime after the new PAC-12 TV deal is finalized, we will be hearing an announcement. The addition of Oregon and Washington will bring the B1G to eighteen schools.
I get the sense that the B1G stills lusts after, at least, Stanford to finish fleshing out the West Wing. The B1G is #1 in government research. Stanford would be the #1 research school if they joined the B1G. However, it is going to take some creativity for Stanford to clear the financial hurdle.
Sooner or later, the ACC Grant of Rights will no longer be an issue. At a minimum, we can expect the SEC to scoop up Clemson and a partner. Sorry, UNC and UVA have no chance of meeting the B1G's financial hurdle, but the SEC has shown an interest in these two schools.
Both the SEC and the B1G will be courting Florida State University. The B1G wants a footprint in Florida. However, resolute SEC fans see FSU as an SEC school. Sorry guys, the fans don't get a vote.
The president of FSU is Dr. Richard McCullough. He was recruited from Harvard to raise the already impressive academic standards of FSU. He has ambitions to bring FSU into the top fifteen of the academic ranks of public universities. He has ambitions to get FSU qualified as an AAU research school. (Florida State is currently at the top of the New American Foundation's AAU candidates list.) I predict McCullough is going to vote to join the nerds not the jocks.
Given the University of Miami's new AAU status, I think they will be Florida State's partner. That would bring the B1G to twenty schools.
It is going to be tough to get to twenty-two schools. It may take a miracle. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart in South Bend would be a good place to pray for a miracle.
Former commissioner Warren floated an unsuccessful deal to add Notre Dame and Stanford before he left for the NFL. The Fighting Irish, steadfast in maintaining their independence, declined. I liked that deal. Maybe it could be resurrected.
A strange thing happened last week. Notre Dame received another honor–they were designated as an AAU research school. What is strange about that is that Notre Dame is largely an undergrad university. Another "unrelated" event occurred at South Bend. Mr. Independence, AD Jack Swarbrick, announced his retirement.
Let's imagine my miracle is granted. With the addition of Notre Dame and Stanford, the B1G would be at twenty-two schools.
Seven of the B1G football teams would have Blue-Chip rosters–Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, Oregon, Miami, and Notre Dame. (Overall, only sixteen college football teams have Blue-Chip rosters–a majority of four-star and five-star players.)
Twenty of the schools would be qualified as AAU research institutions.
This twenty-two school B1G would extent from coast-to-coast–a powerful, mega-conference.
Duke will be coming too
One major point you’ve missed is that the BIG 10 has an enormous and rabid alumni base that is spread out all over the country, that means linear and yes, streaming subscriptions en mass. The SEC tv viewership and alumni base is still largely regional, confined to the SEC region itself. This matters when you are looking at major TV markets, so no, the BIG tv deal was warranted and properly valued despite being a “three team” football league as you say.
