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 B1G

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.

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.

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 also

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 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.

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.

My prediction is better:

Little Red Riding Hood had a problem with the Husky. First, she exclaimed, "He's too scary!" Then she said, "He's too friendly." After spending some time with the Husky, she finally realized that he was not dangerous at all, and exclaimed, "Ahhh, he's just right!" She happily walked with him until she reached her grandma's house. It seems that from April 28th to May 17th, the Husky is just the right companion. Remember to stay aware of your surroundings!

My 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.

As for the porridge one. I guess it’s not the Big Ten, since the new commissioner isn’t starting until May 15. Don’t know why the date range supplied is “just right.”

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.

I mean, it’s so obvious!

The Dice Man presented nursery rhymes? Hmm, I did not know that. By Georgie . . .
Expand ...
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.

Grew up in Bridgeport, in the Hollow area near me, I believe. Anyone know?

BREAKING:
@Kliavkoff now fighting a war on top fronts, as new #B1G Commissioner Tony Petitti is coming for the #Ducks and #UDub and it's priority number one...and "very soon", according to Indianapolis and Chicago B10 sources.

The #ACC will have their grant of rights challenged by #Clemson and #FSU (and possibly others) "before the new football season begins", according to one ACC region media source. We'll quote him when his story pops next week!!
 
I imagine that the P-12 was a bit surprised when the USC-UCLA to the B1G was announced.

I know that the ACC was blindsided when they lost Maryland .

The B1G doesn't leak information and they've never rushed into a move.

Yes, logically, adding Oregon and Washington at some point makes a lit of sense and if I were to bet, I would bet that it will happen. I really don't see why the B1G wouldn't wait on this for quite a few years (as they have done with past expansions) asrushing gives them zero benefit.

I know that those on the outside (us included) would love answers sooner rather than later. The B1G has no need to be anxious about this. They'll take their sweet time and move when they feel it is time to move.

The west coast is different from the last 4 brought in. The travel distances for PSU, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers were not a huge deal. Sure Nebraska to Rutgers or Maryland was a hike and going to Happy Valley isn’t easy but the travel to the west coast is a different animal. To make it work, they need a couple of other schools to make it work travel wise.

Oregon and Washington still leaves room to get to 20 or 24 from the SE when they become available.

I agree and I've said from the minute USC-UCLA was announced that the B1G wasn't going to leave them on an Island indefinitely. I image that by year two or three of the two LA schools in the conference we will hear about further expansion with west coast schools.

That the GOR runs another 15 years (which will postpone eastern expansion for about a decade) aids the B1G in being patient. I still believe that they will eventually add four west coast schools (Stanford and Cal as the remaining two) but this won't happen until they see a finish line with ND (I still see this as the one piece the B1G believes they absolutely must add).

The main point of my post however was that the moron who tweets as if he has some real information is just making some semi-educated guesses and passing it off as legitimate information in a grab for attention.
