Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 2660913, member: 7277"] The B1G would make big moves in realignment if something made sense financially. So consider this ---- The PAC 12 still trails the top dogs in the P5 in revenue. The PAC 12, due to the west coast time zone, has many games on late at night when fewer people are watching. The PAC 12 has 4 crown jewels that are AAU universities in the most populated state in the nation. The B1G would expand if something made sense financially among like minded schools, ideally AAU. The B1G could make an offer to all 4 California schools in the PAC 12 - USC, UCLA, Stanford and Cal - to join the B1G. The B1G would become an 18 member superconference from sea to shining sea and pick up athletic powers in multiple sports at institutions that are all members of the AAU. The B1G would add the State of California and all of its top markets to its media demographics. The B1G would become home territory for all of the high school recruits in California, thus increasing top recruits who join B1G schools in all sports. The B1G would gain football powers to add to its West Division to help better balance the East/West football power split. The B1G would provide the California schools with more national coverage due to the East/Central time zones of the other 14 schools and would have more games earlier in the day when more eyeballs are watching.
