I don't think there's any doubt UConn is on the B1G's radar. Delaney was quoted somewhere as saying he wanted to finish off the NE Corridor. That means either UConn, BC, or, some say, of all schools, Cornell, which I seriously doubt.
I think the Texas, Oklahoma, and/or Kansas theory remains the most viable theory going into the early to mid 2020s, but this recent business involving the PAC is interesting maybe.
What, exactly, does the B1G want?
Stand pat with a league of 14? Doubtful. Too unwieldy.
A league of 16? Maybe. That seems to suggest 2 out of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. But it leaves the far end of the NE Corridor waving in the wind.
What about 20? Was it Gordon Gee who mentioned 20 several years ago? UConn definitely fits here, as well as the B12 schools.
But what about the PAC? Would the key Pacific schools be willing to join the B1G, along with the B12 schools? I doubt it, but it's a theory.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Washington, and ... UConn?
A league of 24, in 4 pods of 6? I mean, probably not. No way, right? But it would work.
