OT: Realignment?

Will The Big Ten Target Harvard? The Money Makes It Tempting

Would the Big Ten ever come calling for Harvard? Will the B1G target Yale or other Ivy League programs for expansion because of NIL?

No

Why USF fans should monitor San Diego State and the Pac-12

The Aztecs spent $310 million on a 35,000-seat stadium and have become a top Power Five expansion target. How does that sound, Bulls fans?

152 of the top 300 football recruits are in these 4 states:

Texas - 54
Florida - 44
Georgia - 32
California - 22

There is something to be said for the B1G to want representation in these states.

I’m not sure a TCU or Baylor fits the B1G mold with UT and A&M off the table. Miami, Florida State and Georgia Tech on the other hand would be plausible.

Current B1G footprint:

Ohio - 10
New Jersey - 7
Maryland - 5
Illinois - 4
Iowa - 4
PA - 4
DC - 3
IN - 2
MN - 1
NE - 1
NY - 0
WI - 0

The market for the Pac-12's media rights changed dramatically when the Big 12 renewed deals with ESPN and Fox. Jon Wilner breaks down the negotiation strategy.

How the Big 12 Surpassed the Pac-12 for Conference Hierarchy

It’s indisputable that it’s been a rough several months for the Pac-12 Conference. The league appeared blindsided when USC and UCLA announced last summer they were leaving the league to join the Big Ten Conference. And despite what you may have heard from various media outlets, the Pac-12...

I could see a future where The B1G tries to go right down the East Coast adding by UVA, UNC, GT, & FSU. This gives them three AAU Schools to make the academics happy and allows the conference to plant a flag in a huge talent rich state with a program that can provide valuable content for media partners.

It is where UConn belongs.

David Benedict replied to the tweet about UConn in the B10 rankings. Just said "No ranking" with the eyes emoji but ya know.

Subliminal advertising.

Seriously, if it is in the works, go with "Connecticut" in B1G Country.

That is the desired next move. Going in to the Mid-Atlantic and south. Two state flagships, three AAU and even FSU is now a top 20 public institution and top 60 university (And yes, I am perfectly aware of the flaws in USNWR rankings).

Pac-12 expansion with San Diego State, SMU may be necessary before league inks new media rights deal

The Aztecs and Mustangs are in the Pac-12's sights as their top expansion contenders

If SMU joins the PAC-12 that will leave Rice as the only former Southwest Conference team not in a P5 conference --- if it can be called P5. It's more like P2 and Middle of the Pack 3 now.

Look at the money it is definitely P5. I would take the 50 to 55 million that the ACC and Big 12 and possibly Pac-12 are getting as well as their voting rights. It is still very much the Power 5.

SMU seems like such an odd fit. Why not take Rice, Tulane & Tulsa while they're at it.
