Ya think this could mean teams like Maryland, Purdue, Indiana, Rutgers, Northwestern could be shifted to the "Little 10" as these other new schools move into the Big 10? I wonder if the same teams would always be in the "Little 10" or could a "Little 10 Team" that went on a run for a few years, move back into Big 10?

Sounded to me like a bunch of "money guys" brainstorming but the B1G and it's media partners are certainly in a position to influence what college football is going to look like in the future

:lol: :roll:

This has as much of a chance of happening as the AAC grabbing Big 12 schools. :oops:

Here is what SMU needs to do.

1. Raise cash ASAP to be ready to buy out of anything and everything ASAP.

2. Win. Especially in football.

3. Start filling the stands and selling tickets.

4. Get the stadium project going ASAP.

5. Get over the idea that anything is going to happen in the next year or two with the ACC. It took Big Bad Texas and OU several years and a hundred million plus to get out of a single year of the GOR for the Big 12. It was reported and confirmed by Texas and OU that they were fully prepared to play the last year in the Big 12 and that negotiations had stalled. With everything going on the Big 12 decided at the last minute that it was easier to allow the buy out of a single year and move on with 12 instead of 14. It is extremely unlikely that the ACC is going to allow a similar affordable exit from their conference with the large number of years left on the GOR.

6. Talk with Rice and Tulane frequently. No matter what academics are still going to matter to Stanford and Cal even if it to the detriment of on the field and court performance.

7. Understand the concept that movement indicates a desire to elevate and the AAC is stagnant already and something to be moved away from.

"If Luck is somehow able to pull off expansion for the Pac-12 in about a week and possibly track down a media rights deal in the process, it certainly feels fair to question George Kliavkoff's efforts over the past year."

I 100% believe Luck can get this done. "10x" employees are real.

Probably as "informed" and "connected" as any of the well-heeled prognosticators quoted throughout this mess.
