Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

The joint statement reminds me of Missouri. One day, they released a statement saying they were proud members of the Big 12. The next day, they announced their departure to the SEC.

I don't see any schools leaving though. Oregon and Washington don't have an invite from the Big 10. The corner 4 could go to the Big 12 but they would rather be associated with Washington, Stanford, and Cal. The TV contract will be similar money-wise to the Big 12. There is no incentive to leave.

The incentive for the corner 4 to go to the Big 12 is that there might not be a Pac 12 (or 10) in the near future. If Stanford, Cal, Oregon and/or Washington are given a chance to join the Big 10, they are gone and the Pac implodes as there really aren't any replacements.

They are still the best four options for the Big 12 if the Pac-12 implodes. They have nothing to lose by staying put. They will stay in the Pac-12 as long as they can. Anyway, Brett McMurphy stated on an SMU podcast today that the Pac-12 has a TV deal in place that will be announced in the next couple weeks.

 
All the B1G has to do us add AAU members Colorado and Arizona and it's contiguous coast-to-coast. Because that used to matter. Then right on up to Oregon & Washington.

You can go from NYC metro to LA without leaving B1G Country.

Yeah, I have a hard time envisioning PAC 12 schools in the SEC.

Would you really be surprised if the SEC added Arizona and ASU in 6-8 years,

I don't buy UO and UW to the B1G necessarily. If it's 2030 and I'm the B1G, I'm waiting for UNC, UVA, GT, and Miami to get to end (or near the end) of its GOR. I don't know if any conference will go past 20 because you won't be a conference anymore, but a league.

I don't see them leaving USC-UCLA out on an island forever. At some point the logical expansion will be 24 schools with four six member pods. There would be at least a couple additional west coast schools added. I also believe the BIG and SEC have already had back room discussions on how they want to carve up the ACC when the time comes.

The B1G and SEC want the same schools. Even if they come to an "agreement," one of them will probably break it (see the Alliance).

A little. But I was thinking more of the West Coast schools.

Is it possible to go from Colorado to Arizona without having to pass through New Mexico or Utah?

I'm pretty sure there is no direct path.

It's possible at the Four Corners Monument. You can be in one of the four states and step right over to any of the three other states. It's like a + sign.

True, but I doubt they would let a car do that and I don't think the initial statement was about someone walking from northern New Jersey to southern California

The state are contiguous was the only point. As the crow flies, or the worm crawls.

You can walk it, but it looks like the drive dips in to NM. Bonus is you get to hit up Navajo Taco and Grandma Frybread shack while cheating the four corner states.

A few years ago I was in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands at the same time.
