For the B1G (assuming the ACC/ND raid):

UCLA, Rutgers and Northwestern are gone as I see it.

Smallest population: Nebraska and Iowa.

Two school states remaining: Michigan, Indiana, Florida.

So? They don't have football fans. They have basketball fans who root for Notre Dame every fall.

And for as mediocre as Purdue is in football, IU is miles worse.
 
I'm not suggesting anything other than they have NIL money.

I don't know that it will matter anyway, if players become employees.

In the B1G you cut:
Northwestern
Rutgers
Maryland
Oregon
Washington
Indiana
Illinois
Purdue
Minnesota
If you are keeping the LA schools, I think you keep Oregon/Washington

I'm not sure MSU survives that situation, if the conferences are just tv networks, maintaining media markets.

I have a co-worker whose husband is a diehard IU basketball/ND football fan.  Goes to their tournament/bowl every year.

He is a Purdue alum

The reality is that only a certain few know the grand plan.

The B1G and SEC bosses know, and Disney, Fox, NBC and CBS bosses know.

So much tradition is going out the window because of these assholes.

Yeah, I see MSU as being right on that bubble... Just enough historic success that they'd probably be safe if they were in a standalone market like Wisconsin, but being little brother in their state makes them a LOT more expendable.

I can sort of understand that if someone is a lifelong reversible jacket fan like that, but can actually math the math, so they come to the school with the good STEM program. 

I knew a girl at Purdue though who was from Carmel and was a big Notre Dame fan (she was an Irish redhead), and came to Purdue. But she was there as an education major... Still don't understand why she didn't go to IU with that major. It's socially acceptable there to be an Irish fan. Especially since at the time Purdue and Notre Dame played annually whereas IU and Notre Dame haven't played each other since 1991 before she or I were in school.

Was she an actual education major, or was she just looking for an MRS degree?  If it's the latter, then she's wise to go to a STEM school that would feature higher potential earners as possible mates...

If that was what she was after, she failed... Didn't get married until WELL after Purdue, and not to someone she met there.

Although you never know intent; she dated me for about a second and a half. But I figured it was for my dashing good looks, not just my earning potential.

Hot redheads find engineers to be irresistible, I've found.

No worries, I filled in the blanks using my imagination.

I dated two hot redheads in college.  Lots of fun times, but definitely not long term relationship material.
