I think Miami is similarly dangerous to Oregon. They have an advanced, weaponized NIL program and they've proven they have zero regard for following the rules so when NIL opportunities aren't available, they'll just bring out straight-up SEC style bags o'cash.

The B1G watches that stuff like a hawk, so I'm not really concerned about that.

Oregon offers nothing. Miami offers access to the best recruiting hotbed in the country.

That, and I could drive to a Badger game. Help them fill up their crappy NFL stadium.

B1G doesn't really have to watch it, nobody ever tries to push the envelope.  Some free tattoos are as bad as it gets up there.

Anyway, let the buyer beware.

The fact that I can now drive to a Purdue game is what pisses me off the most about USC/UCLA joining.

(Before you bash FSU ... on academics, do a little homework. Each has taken large steps in the past ten years.)
They've risen up to Miami-level, but still far behind Florida.

I'm increasingly seeing a future of two megaconferences and some also ran conferences, midmajors as it were.

Once the dam breaks, conferences and programs will scramble for a home, not every decision will be a good one.

To me, FSU and Clemson seem more like SEC programs in football.  I don't know how much the other sports have any influence over such things.

Once a conference gets to about 20 teams or more, it's really two conferences in my book.  Maybe there is a CG ($$$) but he loser would make the playoff usually.

UNC comes with a lot of tails, I think.

It's been out there that the B1G would like to get to 24. Yeah, two Big 12's in one.

I've heard similar about the SEC.

The ACC is probably toast. That long ESecPN deal is killing them right now. Very bad move by Swofford with that one.

I'm sure Clemson/FSU would bolt for the SEC given a decent chance.  It's a more natural and historic fit, and UGA just signed a deal to play FSU H&A.  In the past, teams they sign deals with enter the SEC in two cases anyway.

And of course they also have Clemson scheduled as well.  All this is the usual off season speculation of course.

If not Clemson to the B1G, then I'd go for VT, or maybe even Pitt. 

Nothing in the NE moves the needle, for me anyway. 

Laville is a hard pass. A Georgia presence would be nice, but not Tech.
