If you are adding teams from the Left coast, they'd almost have to be football only members. No way they are going to pay to fly their women's lacrosse teams to Hopkins, Rutgers, Maryland, etc every other week.

Totally agree, hoping that Barry Alvarez and Jim Delaney are actually calling the shots behind the scene, lol.
Me too.  If we could just put Alvarez in charge and give him carte blanche, I'd be for it.

West Virginia has only 2 million people?

Be better off grabbing Kentucky

How do you know they won't?  This is all about TV Ratings and inventory moving forward - the SEC just broke precedent by adding a school inside a state in their current footprint.  I get it's Texas, but Clemson would definitely be the "Texas" of South Carolina - seems like a no brainer for them to add Clemson.  I'd say the same with Florida State.  I'd double or triple the likelihood if either of those schools were in the B1G.

The SEC won't let the B1G have any control over the south in my view.
Clemson may be the "Texas" of South Carolina but that isn't the point.  The point is that South Carolina isn't Texas.  South Carolina has a pop of 5.1M.  Texas' population is nearly six times that.  Adding a second school in SC (Clemson) doesn't bring in eyeballs anything like adding the flagship school in Texas does.

Then there is definitely no point in expanding.

yup, from that list I'd welcome Texas and/or Notre Dame

the Left coast schools might just drop football some day

Colorado would be a last resort - maybe

I'd bet against the BIG dying on the hill for AAU membership as a pre-req.  It will be viewed as a fetish.

Clemson football was solid prior to the current regime, including a national title in the eighties.  With their strong donor system (IPTAY) that keeps the program in the money, they will likely remain a power regardless of the next coach...

It is a fetish, and if the tweet is true then it has to be USC and Notre Dame. Nothing else there moves the needle.

The Big Ten won't have any negotiation power either. They will have to concede every demand that either school makes,  with a reach around and a happy ending.

I "think" the Big Ten should not be in any hurry, at all.  They have a top conference, there is no need to get stampeded.

I saw a rumor they were talking with Ok State, maybe..

Change my vote to OSUs 2 and 3 as my preferred expansion duo.
