@FearlessF
Hell no, you're not blaming the SEC for this.  We added 2 schools that came to us, one of which was already inside our footprint and another that borders it.

The B1G making this kind of leap is the beginning of the end of college football as we know it.  If the SEC had done this, all you guys would be chiding it as a destructive overreach...because it is.  It's lunacy. 

you think the Big went to USC and the SEC didn't go to Texas?

How's that alliance going?  Remember that?  I guess the B1G doesn't.


It was never anything more than a voting block against the SEC, so it probably hasn't changed all that much. Maybe they will ditch the Big Ten and bring in the Acc. But they'd still probably side with the Big Ten anytime there is any disagreement between the Big Ten and the SEC on some issue.

You're deflecting.  It's already been reported that USC/UCLA came to the Big Ten.
The massive difference, which you all want to sweep under the rug, is that the SEC took in 2 helmet programs that kept with the status quo (the gradually expanding your footprint method) and the B1G taking in 1 helmet program and its red-headed stepchild that is a continental mountain range and a swath of desert away. 
In an attempt to remain the SEC's peer, the B1G took in 2 programs 4 states away from its footprint.  That's extreme.  That's a wacky domino that is now mucking everything up.
.
There is nothing you can say that points the blame for this mess at anyone other than the B1G.

the SEC atking in Texas and OU is extreme, maybe not quite as much, but it set the stage for the BIG to do the same

No more extreme than adding Missouri and A&M.  No more extreme than adding Rutgers (haha) and Maryland.  It was status quo, the footprint-adjacent fish we caught just happened to be huge.  Sorry/not sorry.
Didn't jump 2 time zones to stay relevant and blow up the entire landscape.

Four States? California borders Arizona, Nebraska borders Colorado, while Colorado and Arizona give each other a little kiss in the four corners region. They are separated by only two states. 

I am surprised that you didn't take an even more scenic route; up through the Dakotas and then counter clockwise around the entire perimeter of the country, lol.

You'd rather flat-out lie, publicly, than agree with me.  FFS
Nebraska > Colorado > Utah > Nevada > California.....4 states away.  There are 3 states between them.  
.
I could have drawn a line from Lincoln to Los Angeles, which goes through 4 states, but I didn't.  You're the one pirouetting across the 4 corners area.  You're a dishonest interlocutor, and that's about the worst thing I can call someone onine.

It it can be a lot worse than that. The teams could be divided up unevenly into three pods, for example; two pods of five teams and one pod of six teams.
