Sure, not sure what exactly what your trying to get here because when I think Texas football I forget TCU exists half the time. Then being a Christian school is a non starter for most uni presidents, ND would get the nod but that would be the only one.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
FYI--Any PAC 12 school that's leaving has to give notice TODAY in order to avoid financial penalties for when the league's GOR expires.
I guess that doesn't matter if there isn't a PAC12 anymore, however.

I fondly recall the last time Stanford played Iowa. Rose Bowl. Entertaining game to say the least. Go hawks!
Brett’s reading CF I think.
The AZ schools, Utah, and Colorado are the best "fits" by far and fit does matter believe it or not. Oregon and Washington do not fit in the B12 for many reasons.
That tweet puts WSU and Oregon St in the absolute worst position ISU and KSU have just barely dodged before.
As others have mentioned, Cal and Stanford are best schools on planet or close to it, kind of immaterial where they play.
In TV world, the numbers don't have to add up. It's about matchups and USC-Ohio St or UCLA-Michigan might be worth a lot more than USC-Washington or UCLA-Oregon. And TV execs love novelty and they also probably like reducing the number of big time conferences and mouths to feed.
I'm not sure how this will play out for ISU and the Big 12. But if this Big 10 expansion goes through, any hope I had that the Big 10 might be willing to push back against TV media companies to maintain some level of tradition and academic integrity in college football are lost. It's all just following the media company's marching orders now. And I think they'll continue to show they don't always have the athletes, fans, and schools best interests in mind.
Who has won a rose bowl more recently? TCU or MSU?
The Arizona and utah would be excellent additions, would be kinda silly to see Colorado come back
If the B1G is looking to add two more from out west it'll get real interesting... I see Oregon, Washington, and Stanford, and only two spots.
Colorado should and would be welcomed back with open arms.
I'm guessing Clemson, FSU, Miami and Ok. St. to the SEC and Virginia, UNC, Oregon and then if ND says no again, probably either Georgia Tech or Stanford to the Big 10.
This story ends with there being more Iowa State fans than CU fans at all games held in Boulder.
I just don’t get any of the appeal of Georgia tech but I know the name gets floated around a lot. They were good awhile ago but have been beyond irrelevant lately
