IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

IF ESPN isn't funding the expansion of leagues taking the remaining B12 teams in lieu of exit fees and potential lawsuits and to get OU & UT moved for next year, the B12 will be adding BYU & AAC teams after they get their exit money figured out.

Bowlsby has said the remaining value of the B12 teams is about 14M a year and I'm afraid he is probably estimating on the high side(you don't lowball yourself in public). I hope the 14M value is on the current contract and the new one would be a little higher but who knows.

HE SAID THAT UT AND OU WERE WORTH 14MM PER TEAM. THAT WAS ON A PAYMENT OF 37MM. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS ABOUT 8 TIMES, I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE MISTATING IT.

*ISU and KU to the B1G

*WVU and ND to the ACC

*Tech, TCU, OSU, KSU to the Pac-12

Each conference sets up four pods of 4 - play your pod every year plus 5 of the other 12 (figure out those details later), plus 1 team from each of the other two conferences, for a total of 10 games, plus two open school-controlled slots for buy games or whatever. And all Alliance leagues agree to not schedule the SEC.

Protecting rivalries, geography, and trying to maximize TV revenue:

B1G pods:
1. Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State
2. Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Purdue
3. Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa State
4. Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Northwestern

ACC pods:
1. Notre Dame, Florida State, Clemson, Miami
2. Georgia Tech, Louisville, Virginia, Virginia Tech
3. Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, West Virginia
4. UNC, NC State, Duke, Wake Forest

Pac-16 pods:
1. Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State
2. Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC
3. Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Arizona State
4. Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, TCU

Tweet this out, Wannstedt!

If this happens (it won't) it will mean the current 65 P5 schools turn into 64, with Baylor being the sole odd man out who ends up in the American. Even better.

I think you need to adjust pod 2 in the B1G.....its pretty weak sauce, but I like it otherwise.

B12 is not adding anyone at this time. They will hold tight for now. That ratchets up the pressure on OU and Texas and the SEC. Get the Buyout. Throw a wrench in ESPN plans. Keep the CFP in place at 4 teams. Screw ESPN and the SEC.

The three Texas schools are trying to stick together as a block. The Pac-12 likely wants nothing to do with TCU and especially Baylor.

If they all get placed in P5 leagues the three team block will happily break apart. What's more important satisfying TT, TCU & Baylor's wishes to stay together or financing the three teams getting placed in P4 leagues? Network carriage for both league's network goes a long ways towards making that work.

I wouldn't put it past the SEC to do something crazy like absorb 4 more teams to become 20. Even if that happens, I doubt ISU and Kansas would be in the mix. Although it would let them put a flag in Big 10 country.

Its a long shot but those would be two new states to the SEC and again if ESPN is behind all of this, it helps ESPN to get additional compensation to the ACC & PAC in the form of network subscriptions. If that is the goal the best way ESPN can finance it is to get networks added at in conference footprint rates for both the ACC & PAC. The SEC gains nothing by adding Texas teams or OSU in those regards and with all the brands the SEC has TT & OSU will mostly be relegated to a heavy amount of T3 games.

didn't I say "after the exit money is figured out"?

I expected some vague, non-committal statements about realignment, but there's no comment at all (within the announcement). That's a positive in my book, as it leaves the door open for when the Big 12 dust settles.

Several comments about "41 schools" so that part makes me a little nervous. Outside of what I've read on this thread, most "insiders" are saying there is no chance we are going to the Big 10. Don't want to be negative, but can't help but be a little nervous.
