This is viable for those remaining out west. Clemson has proven that it can be done on a smaller budget.
The B12~B20 will be the first super conference. Scheduling could be 1-9-9 or 3-4-4-4-4. Probably the 1-9-9 because they would be able to package and sell more P4 conference games to ESPN plus. 1-9-9 would allow 1 rival every year and then a rotation of all other teams every other year so all teams would be played every 2 years. This would have better football top to bottom than the Big 10.

While geographically a part of the Hawaiian chain, administratively/politically, Midway is not a part of the Hawaiian state....Wake is not a part of the chain, either....Both are east of the dateline....Wake at 166 degrees and Midway at 177 degrees....Both are unincorporated territories, meaning they are not considered to be future states of the United States, and are governed by a military entity....
The whole discussion here began with trying to identify Hawaii as partly west of the dateline, making it both the westernmost and easternmost state in the nation....None of the Hawaiian islands is west of the dateline, which at its closest to Hawaii is the 180 longitude....

I don’t know how anyone that went to a Big 12 school other than UT could root for the Longhorns. If they do, then maybe they don’t understand how Texas wrecked a terrific conference. A conference in the center of the country in contiguous Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa—what was a beautiful regional conference of its own, on par or even better than the SEC of that day!
The BIG TEN has Nebraska and Iowa, so maybe they should REIMAGINE the Old Big 8/Big 12 rivalries and help Nebraska. Steal Oklahoma and Missouri from the SEC and add Colorado, Kansas and finally TCU to tap into DFW/Texas viewership and recruiting. Tap into what the SEC already has—TEXAS and its 30 million people. DFW is ~8 million, the fourth largest metro viewership in the country. The BIG TEN WEST could then better utilize the entire state of Texas’ recruiting turf, and they NEED to.

The number one thing we need is for ND not to join a conference.

IMO it’s impossible to predict what is or isn’t of benefit to us at this point. Too many variables.

We should root against them joining any conference. As long as they are independent they will never lock up the playoffs.

Arizona schools, Utah, and Colorado offers should be tendered immediately. They’ll jump for more money. Then offer Oregon and Washington with huge grant of rights and buy-outs with 48 hours to make a decision. They’ll have to take it. Big 10 is waiting. SEC isn’t taking them. ACC? Hahaha.

A report here says Washington, Oregon and ND are next BIG targets. ND is weighing it only because of playoff considerations, allegedl…

Maybe I’m naive but I always thought ND gets wayyyyyy too favorable of a shake in these things. They haven’t been relevant to the title race except for a couple times since the 80s.

It's difficult, but ND as an independent is a significant road block to the imminent blowing up of the ACC and a closed-shop two conference post-season. I think it's easy to predict that those would both be bad for us right now, and the latter one will never be good unless the SEC goes so big it includes us.
