With news of the B1G contract extension, and Kevin Warren expecting to expand to 20, here are my next dominoes:
Notre Dame will stay independent. Reports have suggested they will get about $60 million a year from NBC.
The B1G then expands by four schools by adding Cal, Stanford, Washington, and Oregon.
The SEC will not sit idly by: they expand by four schools by adding Clemson, North Carolina, Florida State, and Virginia. Miami is the first choice out but the SEC is content with two FL schools. All four schools have to pony up about 300 million but they will finance the amount owed over a 15-20 year period.
The Big 12 is up next: they add the corner 4 schools to sit at 16: AZ, CO, ASU, and UU.
The ACC at this point is down to 10 schools. Notre Dame decides to bolt for Olympic sports to the B1G, tipping their hand about potential future football alignment down the line. The league expands by adding two schools: UConn and SMU. Memphis misses out due to academics, USF due to Miami blocking them, and Temple due to UConn being the more high-profile choice. No Big 12 schools (UCF, Cincy, WVU) bolt for the ACC as the pay-out in the latter is lower and there is a large Big 12 exit fee.
The Pac-12 is holding the bag. However, the twelve MW schools join Oregon State and Washington State under the Pac-12 banner to keep the NCAA credits and autonomy position.
Down to ten members, the Big East expands to 12 by adding Gonzaga and St. Mary's.
As the MW is no more, the AAC is up next. The league is unable to poach Sun Belt schools and settles for UTEP as its 14th member.
The Sun Belt and the MAC both stay put.
C-USA is down to eight members. They add McNeese State and Tarleton State to get back to ten.
The WCC responds to its departures by adding Grand Canyon and Seattle.
The Southland is down to nine members again, but they stay put.
The WAC is at eight schools, but will have six football members, so they stay put as they decline to take on more Division 2 schools.
