Couple of things:

First, I wasn't joking about the meds.  I have to stop taking them to root for Wisconsin.

Second, aside from some creative play with the idea of Rice, my guess is Flug is referring to Rice as start-up lacrosse.  As a start-up, there would be no conference entanglements and they could probably capture enough data from attendance/tv metrics in the 10th largest DMA to calculate how bright a B1G future might be in Texas with minimal risk/cost.

That would also apply to UConn if UConn is in fact going to get men's lacrosse up and running.  Maybe another program here or there to shore up New England.  Don't know what optimal would be for lacrosse but I'm pretty sure it's about lacrosse.

Baseball?  Only game I know that can cram 15 minutes of action into three hours.  Don't follow it at all--if the B1G thinks it fits the bill for affiliate memberships it will just be more teams playing a sport I ignore.  dayooper, your theory seems well thought out and I'm willing to go with it.

I don't seriously see Rice as a candidate for the B1G but it's just plausible enough to make me speculate a bit.
