I was really hoping Big Ten would grab at least 2 more west coast schools. Looks like Stanford and Cal would be the 2 more likely options at this point. Poor Washington State and Oregon State

No idea whatsoever how much to believe but the rumblings I was seeing was that the B1G basically told Oregon and Washington they'd have to wait on ND because they wouldn't up the per school takes for everyone else. UO and UW must not have been getting good vibes on how that would go.

Wouldn't surprise me to see some of these schools either never make it to the Big 12 or leave shortly after joining once a better offer like the Big Ten comes along.

At the risk of asking a dumb question:

Is there any football benefit to this? Or is it just gobbling up teams for media rights?

I'm convinced this is about the end of the NCAA as it relates to big-money college football.
