[QUOTE="eetech, post: 886779, member: 1924"] No one is talking about it and I’m not sure what Texas and Oklahoma have signed so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those 2 might not also come into play (or possibly A&M and Texas) for the B1G. This is beyond obvious. The B1G is gonna bring in massive state schools in the west that are worth more than the $75mm dollars by themselves. Every addition will increase their value and make them more contiguous. The only real question for me is if they will make a play for Texas. UT almost certainly would much rather be with the B1G than the SEC. This goes without saying. The entire academic side, and the entire alumni/upper management side of UT would prefer that. And heck, I suspect the vast majority of purely football based supporters would also prefer that (this is where having USC in the B1G really comes into the picture…UT’s 2 decades of memories of football greatness are almost entirely tied with USC). I think any SEC team if offered a chance to join the B1G with an option to join their academic programs would jump at the opportunity. Heck, even without the academic side the numbers are adding up in favor of the B1G. I strongly believe the B1G will soon become a 24 team conference that includes Texas & Oklahoma/A&M, and another 2 PAC 12 schools to close out the west, and if the ACC GOR is defeated, UNC/VPI/Miami/(Clemson or GT) depending on what they value. The B1G is aiming to be college football. Or, they should be. I suspect the real endgame at that point would be to become a 32 team league after poaching 4-6 SEC teams and hopefully GT falls into the remaining 2-4 non SEC teams they poach to become a 32 team minor NFL league. They have the edge on the SEC. This is how they should be thinking. The only question is that historically the SEC has pushed the boundaries and every other conference has reacted. Will the B1G continue that trend and react, in which case this won’t happen, or will they take the initiative and do much of the above, in which case bye bye SEC and CFB as we know it? [/QUOTE]
