No. I don't know what would happen. But if you are the B10 and you look at what the SEC did, you want to respond. None of the B1G scraps are worth it to the conference with the slight exception of [I]maybe[/I] Kansas. In a world where Big Ten basketball was still struggling, a Kansas addition on the west might help Nebraska with a regional rival and a UConn addition on the East might help solidify the NYC area. This won't happen, but I'm not convinced it's a bad idea...but with the B10 basketball being really good recently, that isn't as valuable.

So...who do you add? Jumping to West Coast schools, maybe. But why kill off a conference you have had positive historic relations with? Why not raid the conference you've already raided and go after the ACC's schools that most fit your bill.

All that to say...I wouldn't be surprised if this is a:

Near Equals (though SEC with advantage in football)
1. SEC
2. B10

PAC12

ACC/B12/UConn leftovers as your middle class, with some real basketball success but a nothingburger in football.

Everyone else.
