Who would the SEC boot in order to get back to ten if the criteria were money instead of tradition?
I'd take the teams out that have under average attendance and income.  Simple.

well, we've all typed about it and some here strongly believe it's only a matter of time before the top 40, 50, 60 whatever football programs band together and leave out fellow conference members

thereby not actually kicking Rutgers or Indiana out of the Big Ten, but leaving the football programs on the outside w/o a schedule vs the top teams

still a Big Ten university and probably all other sports belonging to the Big Ten group

Based on the below, and current alignment, I'd say OSU, UW, MSU, UM, PSU, Iowa, and USC are in the club of ten - the latter two being on the cusp. That leaves 3 spots. 

Who gets them? I see ND and Stanford in the far left column. If they join the B1G, there is one spot left. Does that spot go to an existing member, or does it go to a new school like FSU?

Seems to me that based on the below, Maryland, Indiana, Rutgers and Purdue have no shot. NU, UNL and MN are clustered in the 78-82 win spot.

"We" often forget there is more to it than football, or so I've heard.  I don't (yet) see some major football conference or association as likely soonish.

I think it's quite obvious in this group that UNL stands out with TV ratings and $$$ and commitment to the football program going forward

Looking at this chart,  it is clear to me that that Wisconsin does not get enough credit as the clear #2 in the Big Ten.  Although if this only went back 10 years to 2012,  it may not be quite as clear.

It would be tempting to give the final 2 spots to Washington and Oregon and leave Iowa out.

Final 10
Ohio St, PSU, Mich, Mich ST, Wisc,
ND, Stan, Ore, Wash, USC

Still #6 among the P5. G5 noted with a red dot.

King Barry* is not leaving Iowa out.

Probably. He was instrumental in bringing them in back when.

Which six teams would be expelled if it were entirely up to the King?

Tough to say. He'd go to bat for UW (duh) and Iowa, and probably MN and UNL. He probably would not get his way on at least one of those last two.

OSU, UM, PSU and MSU are in, I would think, unless you go to a "one school per state" model. Then MSU is in danger.

If he doesn't expel OSU, M, PSU and MSU, then Wisconsin have to play them all in the same season every year. Back to back weeks, even. :111:
