Look at tv ratings for Nebraska games. They always perform strong no matter their record.I guess will find out. Not sure how Nebraska is worth more, now. But they are. But also irrelevant.

Either could work & neither fits perfectly but the SEC would be a home run for the football program financially. We have way more in common with UGA,UF,TEN etc than any school in the B1GI don’t either. Like I said earlier, UNC is worth more to the SEC and FSU is worth more to the Big10. I think FSU can grow more as a whole university in the Big10 as they would not be overshadowed by the other southern schools.
SEC - UNC, UVA and Clemson
Big10 - FSU, GTU and Miami/ND if they are ready
Big12 - NCST, Va Tech and Miami (if available)
UNC and UVA will have to find homes for multiple Olympic sports if they join the SEC. We aren’t talking one or two sports. The B1G would provide a home for all of their Olympic sports. Not to mention the academic/research benefits of being in the B1G. Having said that, I don’t think UNC or UVA are the top targets for the B1G. With a 24 team conference, yes. But if the goal is 20, I’m not so sure.I don’t either. Like I said earlier, UNC is worth more to the SEC and FSU is worth more to the Big10.

Culturally, absolutely! NC still has that southern feel. Athletically you probably are more inline with the SEC, especially the revenue sports. As said above, UVA and UNC would have to find homes for many of its Olympic sports programs. I think UVA is athletically more an Big10 school now. Academically, I think they both would fit in with the Big10 schools better.Either could work & neither fits perfectly but the SEC would be a home run for the football program financially.

By my count UNC would need to find homes for lacrosse (M/W), soccer (M) ,field hockey, wrestling & rowing. I personally don't think it would be a hard as some think the A-10 & CAA could be landing spots for all except wrestling. Both cover prime recruiting areas alsoCulturally, absolutely!

My guess is there are several forces at play, but the forces that really count (donors, revenue sports) are for the SEC.
If the ACC is going to break up, there needs to be equitable division of the top programs between the SEC and Big10. The Big10 will not take leftovers. They will need either UNC or FSU
I will stipulate that the above is just my opinion and someone who knows the schools better than I will have a greater insight.
I was surprised to see that only Kentucky and South Carolina play men's soccer. Those 2 along with West Virginia play soccer in the Sun Belt.UNC and UVA will have to find homes for multiple Olympic sports if they join the SEC. We aren’t talking one or two sports.

What is that?Never forget the #1 rule of conference realignment!!!!
Ask the car wash.What is that?
I scoured the interwebs and I finally found it. It is just at the 4 minute markI saw Norm do it on Cheers. He was great at it but it was killing his soul.

I’ve got news but can’t leak it yet. As soon as I’m allowed to it’ll be up. Murky version is: ducks are in a row but the can is getting kicked down the road.
Yup, dominos will start to fall. Oregon is set, What will the others do? stay tunedMy interpretation: Oregon is in, but Saskatchewan (CANada) is on the fence.
My interpretation. Same with Oregon, but the “in a row” could be with neighbors Wahington and Stanford to the Big Ten. But the “CAN” kicked down the road could be the Big 12, which you can get from Chicago on Rt. 66. Yeah, that’s it. And the “CAN” schools going are Colorado, Arizona and/or Arizona State, and Utah RunniNg Utes. Yep.My interpretation: Oregon is in, but Saskatchewan (CANada) is on the fence.
Translation: Oregon is in but UConn (when you think you can’t, yes UCann) we’ll have to wait until future expansion to get into the Big Ten.MH ver3@MH ver3

The Dice Man presented nursery rhymes? Hmm, I did not know that. By Georgie . . .I almost posted I preferred my nursery rhymes from Dice-Clay but thought better if it.
That's what got him his initial notoreity. And early it was pretty much all the funny he had. I saw him in the late 80s at the Treehouse in Westport. After he was done opening with the nursey rhymes (which he took from ventriloquist Otto Petersen), it was mostly all obscene, degrading crowd work. It was awful. Sidenote is that Johnny RIzzo opened for him. Now that guy is a hardcore comic - 40 years at it and never hit the big time. On that night, he was funnier than Dice.The Dice Man presented nursery rhymes? Hmm, I did not know that. By Georgie . . .
