Stanford would be an interesting vanity project. 

I’m kind of fascinated what happens to them. In theory they can fund whatever they want for as long as they want. They could be a weird independent. Maybe he Big Ten takes them in the drive for 20. Maybe the ACC uses them as a stopgap.

I saw that and secretly hope it happens.

It’s very silly, but I wouldn’t mind being able to drive to a Cal game, and a lot of the other fall out would be very amusing.
I mean, why not?  At this point why not just root for utter chaos and nonsense?

Big Ten membership is not all about football and TV money.  At least, it shouldn't be.  The barn door is open.

what fantasy fairy tale world do you live in? what shouldn't be is not what it is. sorry to burst your bubble and tell you that santa clause doesn't exist....but yeah the what is is that B1G membership expansion has only been about football and tv money. That's it. Why do you think we got stuck with fkn Rutgers and why do you think they just took a hard pass on adding Stanford- you know....arguably the greatest academic powerhouse in the entire fkn world....

He said "it shouldn't be", which is tacit admission that it is.

Speaking of the Olympic Sports, one of the unintended (though not necessarily unforeseen) consequences will be the strain on and potential breakdown of the niche, non-revenue sports.
