Now that the P12 dust has settled, it is time for BY to talk some sense into the B12 Presidents.
The latest B1G move just reinforces that is "war time" and it is going to be a battle for National relevance. There will be 3 power conferences, and the B12 is in a battle with the ACC to see who will win out. Knowing the landscape now, and assuming you already have Colorado and Arizona, do you really want to add repetitive states that you already own in Utah and Arizona State as you go to battle with the ACC...or do you begin the national battle with the ACC now. Not sure how realistic it would be...but adding UConn and Stanford (or Cal) would be a lot more strategic than adding ASU and UU. They lock themselves into the "Southwest Conference" with a couple of Midwest outliers and gives the upper hand to the ACC in the war.
Hopefully BY is able to convey what the future looks like to these B12 Presidents.
Not optimistic though.
I totally agree. This is a time for the ACC and the Big XII to think about the future. ND's nonsense partial membership in the ACC puts them in a weaker position. Identify the optimal number of member schools for long-term value, review available schools to hit that number, and start the courting process. We should be a solid target for either conference.
