Ok now it’s getting deep.
If anyone else got invited it would be Washington and Stanford.

Washington and Stanford would make sense -- academic wise. I could see them getting an invite if we go bigger. Oregon would be great athletically, but they don't meet the academic side, so not sure if they get an invite or not.

Basically the B1G is in position to enhance any program it takes and cripple anyone it doesn’t. Atheletics don’t matter as much because whoever wins the lottery recruits will follow.

Honestly who wants to put up with Oregon fans anyway they are awful.
I do not see it stopping at 16 members in the B1G, and I imagine eventually seeing a giant 20 member super conference by also adding Stanford, Oregon, Washington, and Notre Dame to the B1G... the money is too attractive, even for the stubborn Fighting Irish.
Hell... why stop at 20...
9 of the 12 PAC schools are AAU... so besides USC, UCLA plus the three PAC schools I mentioned above, the B1G could add all 9... so Cal, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado too... and with Notre Dame, that would make a 24 member super-conference....
the three non AAU PAC schools, Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona State would probably end up in the Big XII along with San Diego State, Fresno State, Boise State, Colorado State, and SMU to make a 20 member Big XII (Big XX)
Would the SEC then also match the B1G and increase to 24 by taking 8 schools from the ACC? Perhaps Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia Tech, and Virginia to the SEC?
Then of the 6 remaining ACC schools, the 20 member Big XII (Big XX) I mentioned above also increases to 24 by adding Duke, Wake, Pitt, and Louisville.... Syracuse and Boston College end up in the American or MAC.

I doubt the highly speculative BS I just typed above actually happens... but one never knows!

Interesting note. ND fans always said they couldn’t join the B10 because they couldn’t play their rivalry games. Now USC (their biggest rival) is in the B10.
Colorado back to the Big 12? Like getting divorced and then getting remarried because your ex looks better than anything else available. I would think the Zona schools would view that as a step down but they may not have a lot of options either. Utah in the same conference again as BYU would be interesting.
If we are just heading for two 20-24 team superconferences then the SEC and B1G need another 4-8 each. Which 8-16 teams are attractive enough to warrant such courting? Kansas/Duke hoops? Clem/FSU/Miami? Can't see South Cackalacky and Florida liking that but it is a new day.

UT and ou should make it hard for the Big12 to do anymore additions to the conference

they may very well be pushing that now. Wilner (same guy who broke the story) seems to be hinting that’s the case
Let's be real. There aren't really any more real good looking girls to invite to any of the sororities. A lot of good additions for certain specific reasons but none bring tons of new eyes to the viewing.
The research dollars that would come with schools like Stanford and Cal would be more attractive than the potential of new athletic dollars.

one of the 100 reasons I've been calling for ND/USC to go to the BIG.
Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Northwestern, Ohio State, USC, Penn State, much more money (which is why ALL of this is happening) just makes too much sense and ND HAS been sniffing around. With the importance of staying competitive financially with the SEC and BIG.... I feel like they HAVE to make the move now to stay financially relevant but, we'll see.
Thanks for the plug, but I don't think the SEC will ever let GT back in. Too much bad blood.
