I don't think FSU or Miami add much - obviously more than Stanford or Washington

neither are helmets - neither garner huge TV ratings

neither does UCLA

You seem really hung up on UCLA.  I don't think you get USC without UCLA.  USC wanted at least one traveling partner, just to minimize at least a small amount of their travel obligations.  Especially for the non-football sports.

UCLA just isn't a helmet and doesn't add much

if it's a package deal then so be it

but, like you say, once they're in it's almost impossible to dump them

that said, I'd rather have UCLA than FSU or Miami

The only thing Miami adds that might be a net positive to the league is research on tropical cyclones.

Otherwise, they are smaller than Northwestern, their endowment is chicken scratch, and they haven't been relevant on the gridiron in 20 years.

Yeah.

If Miami were to be invited, then it would be because they're also a package deal with FSU.  And at that point, I'm not sure it makes sense to add any of them.

Other than recruiting exposure in Florida, but I think the B1G brands that are likely to be able to recruit well in Florida, are already doing it anyway.

Heck yeah!  And I know there are a lot of B1G fans in the LA area.  I'm sure they'll be pleased to get to see some games in their own backyard.

disagree completely. Miami would be an absolute home run addition. For many different reasons. 

And FSU/Miami aren't tied at the hip either. FSU is a huge state school in Butt-F**k Egypt way up north in the state- might as well be part of Alabama. Miami is a small private school for rich kids in Coral Gables- one of the wealthiest and nicest towns in the USA- and a suburb of one of the fastest growing, most major cities in the entire USA. 

South Florida is one of the major TV markets in the US behind maybe only 4-5 markets- and it has by far the best recruiting pool/talent in the entire country. Talent in South Florida is tops in the country. Adding Miami would be a no brainer, really.

Except nobody gives a crap about Miami football, and it's been decades since they did.

There’s still 2 whole years before the B1G welcomes in USC and UCLA. However, that didn’t stop reporters from asking coaches their thoughts on the upcoming expansion.

1 of the coaches who was asked about it was Wisconsin’s Paul Chryst. The Badgers will eventually have to travel out west to play either the Trojans or Bruins at some point. There have been some concerns raised about the toll of traveling across the country and the effect it will have on student-athletes.

That is definitely something coaches around the country are going to have to consider down the road. Chryst just hopes that he is still at Wisconsin when that day comes according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.

Here’s what Chryst had to say about it:

“I was asked earlier today,” said Chryst. “How are you going to feel when you play your first conference game at SC? Just hope I’m f—ing still there.”

Who does he think he is with that mouth Callahan/Pelini?
