Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 4467305, member: 7277"] Agreed. Stanford is more value than Cal. Cal is still a prestigious research institution. I think that is the only thing it has going for it in terms of having something the B1G might want. I guess it depends on how big the B1G wants to become. The PAC has some low hanging fruit and it does seem unlikely that USC and UCLA will be the only schools out West by themselves. At the same time, the B1G and SEC surely are going to pounce all over the top ACC brands at some point in the future. Which is more valuable for the B1G? Owning the Pacific Time Zone as a monopoly (Oregon/Washington/Stanford/Cal) or expanding into the southeast to encroach upon SEC territory (Miami/FSU/Clemson/UNC)? If they do both, we are looking at at least a 24 team conference. If they do one or the other, we are looking at an 18-20 team conference. [/QUOTE]
