I'm probably wrong but I don't see the Big 10 adding Cal and/or Stanford unless it pretty much guarantees they'll get ND.

No, it's not out of touch.
That's exactly how people will think of it.
Personally, idgaf who gets the blame. Go ahead and call us a villain if it means we wind up stronger than we ever have before.
Great time to be a Big 12 fan!
The easiest play for the B12 is to take Arizona and then sit. There is no obligation to do anything else. Wait and force the B10 to do something.
Big 10 doesn't want to deliver the fatal blow, translation: Big 10 wanted OrWa at half price and will get it after the Pac collapses.
I disagree with that. College football has always had a competitive imbalance. I think the biggest issue is tearing apart conferences in order to make soulless super conferences that have no history. Not that faux nil deals aren’t a big issue, I think they are, but I don’t think they’re the biggest issue.
But pride makes a good point: was Stewart making this point when the Big 12 was at risk?
It doesnt when you had front teet and making a “January bowl”. Now that you are in the rear one hoping to have a winning record and make the Detroit bowl, it kinda does.
Wash/Oreg could simply tell the B1G to pay them the 32 million that the Big 12 would pay them as a way to get their foot in the door. Get into the conference now, and get a full share 5 years from now.

I don’t see why FSU, Clemson, or any ACC team would agree to that. It doesn’t bring them more money and makes their path to the playoff more difficult.
The problem the ACC has, is their top brands aren’t going to make deals like that to for the betterment of the conference, because their priority is doing what’s best for them, not what’s best for the ACC
Just adding Wash/Ore and getting rid of B10W makes B10 so much radically harder for the west teams. It would effectively be an entirely new radically more difficult conference for Iowa/Wisc who have dominated that gift.
At least USC brought along UCLA. If I was a lower half B10 fan I'd be praying Cal and Stanford come along.
Wash/Ore are in no position to demand anything. And they'd both take a 1/2 share looking toward future B1G money than a full share of B12 money.
It's funny they lie with a straight face that they didn't already deliver the fatal blow. That is some stone cold pure refined lying/posturing.
I didn't kill the guy, it was all the blood he lost after I shot him in the brain and the heart.
That's the kind of English I expect from the panhandle...
Blame absolutely everybody/everything except the Big Ten.
They have Stockholm Syndrome.
I think the media and everyone here is getting a little too wrapped up in the "blame." I have no idea why it's even a topic of discussion. Two weeks after the dust settles, no one will ever mention it again. It's an artificial talking point so people can get worked up on Twitter.. The Big 12 should and will do what is ultimately best for the conference.
