Those road trips though...
For them for for us? I wouldn't bitch about going to South Bend every other year.

Pac-12 expansion is now inevitable

Wonder who he's talkin bout
Not sure I follow. The PAC 12 is the only major conference in the Western US. Geographically, that's an advantage.
Or it is exactly what causes the breakup. I don't know if expansion of the Big 12 strengthens or dilutes it.

I know 1 who isn't.
I would guess Mizzou and the cornchubs.
WVU theoretically brings the WMA (Wasthington, DC Metro Area) TV market. that's why they come up in ACC expansion talk all the time, especially with the loss of Mary.

Humor us
They cannot go further West. And they have the 2 least desirable time zones.
Hawaii. But, man. It's a shorter flight from Los Angeles to Miami than it is to Honolulu.
Yep, that's certainly the most desirable time zone
Hawaii will be travelling 45,216 miles for road games this season. The earth's circumference is 24,901.
Now that is interesting. Imagine if Mizzou and Nebraska went back. That would have huge dominoes.
Would the B1G drop Rutgers? Or would it look to pick up a UConn? Would the ACC offer them Boston College and Syracuse in exchange for getting Maryland back?
Nebraska has been frustrated by what the move has done to its recruiting in Texas. That's why they're throwing a hail mary with the Mike Riley hire and this silly "Calibraska" thing. They're desperate.
Missouri is an absolute mess and is a horrible fit for the SEC. Hell, they got put in the East. All well and good while Florida & Tennessee are down, but as soon as they start punching to their weight along with UGA being in there, Mizzou has no chance and they know it. I think they'd jump at the chance to play KU, KSU, ISU and NU every year with regular games against OU and OSU. That's their DNA.
But to make those happen the Big 12 would have to be looking at a media deal that paid them B1G/SEC money without it diluting other members. There's the rub.
Why in the world would NU want to go back? They hate Texas almost as much as we do. I do think Ol Bill is off his meds though. Probably talking about UH and SMU who want back in the SWC.
You think that Texas politics might bring them back? Interesting thing on this note is that the SEC doesn't have a Grant of Rights, so members are free to leave. aTm and Mizzou could bolt without penalty. Could get crazy again.
P.S. The public is thinking of G5 additions, but we discount the arrogance and financial pull that UT and OU have. It wouldn't surprise me if they had their sights on aTm, Arkansas, Missouri and Nebraska and want to make a play for them.
I just want to be loved
Interesting.
If that's the case add Mizzou Kansas OU and Nebraska or Houston.
Of those, I think Arkansas might make sense. They don't really fit in the SEC and have some deep ties to the old SWC days. I would be shocked if A&M or NU came back. They both have serious issues with UT.
Dammit. Now you have me thinking about completely unrealistic scenarios.
It would shake things up, though. And in a good way, too. I have to admit I'd love to see it happen.
I was chatting with a couple friends over the weekend, both are huge CSU fans. One worked in the athletic department, the other in administration. They both said that the new stadium was essentially CSU pushing all of their chips in for an invite to either the PAC12 or Big12. Both agreed they had no shot at the PAC, but thought they might have a 10% chance at the Big12. I laughed at them, and the look on their face confirmed what we all knew...no invite is coming.
I told them not to look so sullen, and that they could strike up a solid rivalry with Greeley.
I would think BYU and Cincy would pretty much be locks if they were to expand with G5 schools. Then they will weigh the possibility of adding 2 more and that is where is gets tricky and could dilute the money coming in.
In terms of P5 expansion I have no idea. If they could bring back A&M, Arkansas or Missouri I think they would but that seems like a dream. Nebraska would have to pay a huge exit fee I would assume so that's not happening. UA and ASU would be absolutely crazy to exit their connections to So Cal but who knows, ASU is full of retards.
