Stanford won’t make the B1G more money.
Oregon and Washington might. But maybe there is a mental block to expanding beyond 16.
I am sure the brass in Eugene and Seattle are basically begging for the chance to come along to the B1G today.

An unlikely option is that the Pac 12 becomes the Pac 10 again. TV could rally around the remaining 10 schools like they did for the Big 12 a decade ago.
I just can't see that happening though. Especially with the money involved and the speed of this happening

That number will probably be much higher with the new schools coming in.
ACC source suggesting that a raid of the Big 12 might be in line for that conference. Curious what it would look like.
At this point, I'm not sure there should be. Things seem to be moving toward two super conferences that would operate on their own tier, and I don't think they'll stop at 32 teams. Not with Oregon, Clemson, FSU, etc. on the outside, certainly.
Northwestern is irrelevant to Chicago's interest in Big 10 teams. Even without Northwestern, Chicago, along with Indianapolis and Detroit, are the centers of interest for the Big 10.
That's the difference between Chicago and New York - Chicago will always have a market for the Big 10 regardless. Conversely, they only have it in name only because nobody in New York cares about Rutgers or any other college sports team.
They will pull in those big brands eventually and then kick out the small hangers-on who are just fortunate about the conference they joined a hundred years ago.
Get out of the eastern time zone entirely. Give 'em Cincy, WV, and UCF. Add schools from the remaining Pac12.
At that point go grab Louisville like the Big 12 should've done when adding West Virginia
They would need to add enough schools to re-open their TV contracts. WVU and Cincy make sense, but reportedly don't reopen the TV contract. Everyone else is a billion miles away
Most likely would give them WVU and then toss in the two "news" of UCF and Cincy?
They can have WVU, Central FLA and Cincinnati.
Big XII adds at least 7 from remaining PAC 10.
This would be another reason in the 'grab everyone from the pac 12 now' bag. If we're sitting at 22 and lose WVU\Cincy, nbd.
Give up Cincy and UCF along with WVU...snag up the big brands of the remaining Pac12 boom lets roll this ****
This whole thing could be really good for the big 12 or really bad. I think the good part is we will have a fresh new commisioner that will probably try his best to add some Pac teams.
