Here’s what I picture: Stanford/Cal join the B1G teams Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC, and B12 teams Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah in a new conference. We could throw Washington State and Oregon State in there too.
BIG10 seems looking to expand again, mainly one team on the East Coast and another on the west coast. We need PODS that make historic and geographical sense and resurrect the quadrangle of hate.
The B12 can balance out with Texas and Oklahoma from the SEC, the ACC can exchange Stanford and Cal for Maryland with the B1G, and slim down by letting Boston College, Syracuse, and Pitt go to the Big East.
