In what way is it a community college?
Oregon is the lowest B1G school academically (or competing with Nebraska, if you wish).  
Ideally, you'd add a strong or at least average new program.  Washington is a mid-high academic B1G school, which works.  Stanford would have been a the top.

One thing that's been totally ignored is how adding Texas and A&M has strengthened the SEC's academic average.  Both are in that Florida tier of schools, below Vandy, but above Georgia.  That's a great add, based solely on academics.  

Idk where OU is, academically.

So is this for next season? Better redo those schedules. Honestly, I like the Pacific Northwest and this gives me an excuse to drag the family out there.
Just stay away from the parts that are fire. The arson kind. You'll be fine.

The ACC has pretty solid acadmic schools, especially undergrad, but I personally don't care, aside from having attended one of them.

Boy I read this one wrong. 

My comments about the quality of UO and the future of growth in the interior SW don't change, but I really didn't think that Oregon would go with YW.

The implosion of the Pac 12/10/8/PCC is the biggest one since the Seattle Kingdome.

For the past few years the Ute fans have been absolutely dunking on the Byu fans for joining the Big 12. "It's not even a P5 Conference without Texas and Oklahoma" they insisted. It will be funny to hear how they spin this.

Oregon was #12, USC #14, UCLA #25, and Washington #34 (Stanford was #47).

The only current B1G teams that had better TV ratings than Oregon and USC were Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State.

The obvious prize still on the table is Notre Dame.  Doubt ND gives up it's independent status though.

If I was B1G king I'd kick out Rutgers and Indiana. Then add Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Florida State, and Miami.

That gives The B1G the DMV area, North Florida (great TV market) and South Florida (best recruiting in the country). 

That makes 20. B1G could go to a pod set up that rotates 4 pods with 2 divisions.

Then I'd force Notre Dame to split a TV contract.  The B1G would control 9/15 of their historical rivals (USC, Michigan ,Purdue, Michigan State, Northwestern, Miami, Florida State, Nebraska, Penn State).

Then sit back and let that sweet $$$ role in as The B1G cements it's place as one of the only two real super conferences.

This is an arms race.  Like it or not.  Either play the game or get left out and crumble.

I do not understand the finances behind their exploration of capital equity with JP Morgan, but they must be very serious about leaving the ACC. I am speculating that the best media deal for the Big Ten is to add Clemson or Miami, and FSU, not Stanford and Cal.
I didn't find my answer on this thread. I found an answer here: How media rights packages accelerated the Pac-12's collapse (msn.com)
The Big 12's media contracts incentivized them to expand, granting $31.7M for each P-5 team that is added. My conclusion from reading this article is that the Big 12's media contracts were devised in such a way the PAC-12 would be raided, and would collapse, saving the networks some money. The Big Ten had no similar incentive in its television contracts. It appears from this article the Big Ten is simply dividing up revenues from its existing media contracts and extending Washington and Oregon $30M per year through 2029 and then the Big Ten's media contracts, end.
Unless media contracts are renegotiated I would conclude the Big Ten will not expand further until after 2029, whereas the Big 12 could take on more P-5 schools.
This leaves Cal & Stanford in precarious positions. Stanford is not interested in joining the Big 12, because perhaps rightfully so, they are snooty. But, marriages these days are mostly temporary.
