Weird how the “left for dead” Big XII is going to come out of this better than the Pac-12
I think basketball tanks if we’re left out. otherwise I agree with the rest.
WPS!
Is there a way to put a “middle finger” button?

Unfortunately, I think they’d need to add Baylor, TCU and maybe Cincinnati to get to 12 to be somewhat competitive

Adding Arizona and Colorado would give the big 10 contiguous coverage from coast to coast.
Stanford #2 in Learfield Cup this year behind UT. Oh…point taken.
Throw in Utah and Kansas and we have the Big 20.
Denver market, being one of 2 MTZ programs and the pairing w the West Coast programs for games are about the only thing CU has going for it.
Weird that CU - Oregon was higher than any of the ones below it.
The problem is, what does the TV money look like for that conference and how does it being a fraction of the B1G and SEC keep it even somewhat competitive for the notOregons?
Sure why not. Add some more Texas teams and any other Big 12 leftovers to get to a ~14 team conference
I feel there’s no way Oregon doesn’t end up in the B1G. No way they are left out of a super conference. But it does seem a little telling they were left at the alter on deadline day by SC/UCLA
There would need to be a few more teams involved, but it is a good start. Not necessarily catching the Big Ten and SEC, but I think with strategic adds, you could be within striking distance.
At this point, it would be a surprise if Utah & CU are not in the Big Ten. That pairing has the most people after both California pairs too and is still growing fast. The key thing is that Utah recently joined the AAU which is a big deal to the B1G.
That is if you are considering the typical conference parameters that has been in place for a long time and they might no longer apply this time around.
I forgot to mention the Nebraska rivalry. That game gives them a highly rated matchup even when both programs suck

LOL no it absolutely would not
As I mentioned, I think they’d have to add successful programs in TX and CTZ like Baylor, TCU and Cincy
Let's say CU somehow gets an invite into the Big Ten by the end of this year. Let's also say CU goes 3-9/4-8 in 2022 like many expect.
Doesn't it become imperative to fire Dorrell at that point?
(I might be crazy, but the latter seems like the best news of all)

Why? There are a lot of great programs and regular tourney from outside the Big 6 basketball conferences. I'd argue that most, maybe all, of them would be less than they are in hoops if they decided to start competing for the top of FBS football.
I’m pretty sure we could eek out some wins v NW, Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Nebraska, Purdue, maybe even MN.
San Diego State, TCU, and Houston should be part of that mix. Dallas Metroplex population will surpass Chicago's population next decade so you can't leave that region out at all. Houston is right behind Dallas in that regard and then SDSU could be enough to cover SoCal even if it will be mainly USC & UCLA and the B1G.
But the Big 12 can offer both Arizona schools membership in addition to San Diego State and that conference would be pretty formidable when it comes to TV numbers. Memphis could get that 16th spot in that case.
