B1G's next expansion should include teams that can actually win important games in a major sport. Is there a conference that does less with more than the B1G?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

If the Big East ever wanted some NYC-area flavor for the 12th team...



The Hynes is a small arena, but the Gaels have an excellent fan base. I've been to about six games there, each one an electric atmosphere.

Just Texas

Expansion is about economics not athletic performance.

I offer him a contract with a heavy morals/cheating clause

Would this clause pay him more for cheating?

I’m sure Rick would throw that in at no extra charge.

Not a chance of this happening. The Big 12 will not be able to get anyone from the Pac-12 to jump ship unless the later has more defections. Nobody is leaving the Big East for the Big 12, not even UConn. The basketball monies would be the same, the travel would be worse, and the TV exposure would be worse.

I actually think something along these lines will happen with the Big East. One of the "Power" football conferences is going to want to take control of basketball too. So they will poach the top teams from a conference like the Big East. However I'm not thinking it will be the Big 12.

As a Basketball only sure it's unlikely... were football included there would be a commitment and press conference announced within 5 minutes of receiving the call.

If the money is the same or better you could extract a little more for travel; and you could get a promise for a certain amount of football games, access to their bowl slots, and preferable status in case of football expansion I think you accept as well.

Given a few more years of continued Mora trajectory and lower exit fee. That might even get the ACC to act, would they want the Big 12 in ACC territory?

I don’t see it happening, but I would like there being a discussion about Connecticut. The ACC has always felt that we will be there whenever they need us. Having another potential courter is a good thing.

I could see Stanford and Cali saying never ever ever never to Big 12. Could always join Big East for bball and go independent in football. Start a western half for Big East. Plus UConn and Stanford just played in super regional in Baseball.
