Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 4347458, member: 749"] Am I the only one puzzled by this? I haven't seen it explained. We all remember BC lobbying hard to keep UConn out of the ACC to protect their recruiting advantage of being the [I]only ACC member school in New England.[/I] We've also heard of Florida and South Carolina not wanting FSU and Clemson added to their respective SEC footprints---and that UNC or UVA would be better choices since they create new markets for the SEC. So given all that, why would the B1G's first move be USC [I]and[/I] UCLA, [I]both[/I] from Los Angeles. Why wouldn't USC have lobbied against UCLA to protect their "advantage" of being the B1G's Southern California school? And why wouldn't the B1G have wanted to pivot after USC to another untapped geographic market (Stanford, Oregon etc). [/QUOTE]
