USC and UCLA to B1G?

Man just think if the B1G hadn't grabbed Maryland and Rutgers a few years back....would have room for Oregon and Washington right now. For purely selfish reasons, I wish we would grab ASU and U of A...wife is a U of A alum, huge NU fan base in Arizona.
Jon Wilner is actually the closest thing Pac-12 country has to a legitimate college sports beat writer. He does a better job of covering Pac-12 basketball than any of the teams' local reporters.
How can they be
There isn't much chance of ASU joining the Big Ten because it isn't a member of the Association of American Universities.
Huge markets but also heavy pro sports towns and not so much college hype in those cities
Smaller sports wont continue in this new world. But LA teams have quite easy travel to many Big Ten schools.
Those two things will not make a difference when it comes to tv negotiations. Rutgers and Maryland were nothing more than tv sets to the big ten.
For football it makes sense. Travel isn't the issue as much as time zones are the problem. Travel is more of an issue for the sports other than football and basketball.
I would assume if this happens then the PAC needs to consider merging with the Big 12. Only problem is that the Big 12 already expanded to fill the holes left by Texas and Oklahoma.
I wonder if this puts more pressure on Notre Dame to go full in on the ACC.
Proof that someone is smoking something, the networks will NEVER let that happen. The Rose Bowl would never be the same and that would totally open up the LA market to the current BIG schools which would totally screw UCLA.
agreed this seems like a head fake by someone unlikely it ever comes to fruitition
I think the B1G should just get every f***ing school. EVERY. DAMNED. SCHOOL.
Until there are no schools left but B1G schools...
