If the PAC were to offer Nebraska an additional 35 million a year over what every other school gets, then maybe.

To the contrary, markets is the no. 1 thing that matters. If you don't delver eyeballs, no matter how they are counted, you aren't getting a slice of the pie. GaTech has that going against them.

Eyeballs matter but the market the school is in does not anymore. A perfect example is Missouri where it made a lot of sense for the SEC to take them because they got the Missouri market for the SEC Network which was able to charge a premium for subscribers in that market which they wouldn't have been able to if they didn't have an SEC school. Now with cord-cutting and the trend moving towards streaming then individual markets aren't as critical because in the future you will capture viewers where ever they are and so ratings become the all-important metric.

GT could deliver this because they have some old rivalries that are hibernation that if revived would garner viewers. More people are going to watch GT vs Auburn than Kansas vs Texas.

This is why I think you should be the Nebraska AD. You have the chops for it.

This is the exact undeserved arrogance that makes us laugh at you. Poor thing ... having to come to the SEC to bail you out of the conference that was going nowhere.

If Nebraska were on the market, sure. But they're value has gone down and aren't worth doing anything crazy for.

the unsuspecting move would be Nebraska.
if Pac went for say TT, Kansas and Kansas State then pitched to Nebraska about renewed rivalries with Colorado and Kansas and such but prob unlikely

Lol. That would be a terrible move for Nebraska in so many ways

First, divisions are already under attack with 14 teams. Now that the CC gets auto in to the CFP, the idea of having non-balanced divisions could be a problem. In the SEC, the argument is that the West is stronger than the East. It falls apart from a CC game aspect because the East has always at least had one good team to get to Atlanta. This is a bigger issue for the B1G where the West has put some less than optimal teams in when there were better no. 2 teams in the East. But, the idea is that you should have the 2 best in the CCG regardless of divisions.

Second, the idea that you only play teams once every 6 years is bad. TAMU came into the SEC in 2011, and we go to College Station for the first time in 2023, 12 years later. That's just wrong. I've seen to written that ideally you want a player who plays 4 years to get to play in every away stadium at least once.

Third, the SEC has some permanent rivalries that have to be preserved. UGA UF, UGA AU, UA UA, AU LSU, UT OU, UA UTjr, maybe UF LSU.

With all that in mind, if OU and UT come in, they will go to pods. No doubt. It will enable you to get the top 2 teams in the CCG every year, it will allow teams to play each other more often. The hard part will be point 3 above.

You’ve got AU LSU in your list…just saying.

You’ve also got Alabama playing themselves.

there is no debating what you say is true.

I was just saying that is what it would take.
$23 million to make up for the difference in revenue between the B1G and PAC.

The other 12 is for putting up with @OregonDucks

Why in the actual F would we want Nebraska in the PAC-12? That is asinine talk. Welcome to 2021, Nebraska today is the equivalent to when the Big Ten added Rutgers and Maryland. Wake up to modern times, you guys are awful and provide nothing to a conference, besides a lot of video content from the 90's to fill air time on conference networks.

The PAC needs to add Boise, and maybe try to get Texas Tech or something.
