About what we heard from the SEC/Texas/OU or Big/USC/UCLA right before the announcements. Only two or three days warning.

Could the Big Ten balloon to a 20-team (or more) league?

Probably evaluating CAL because of governor Gavin. Then threw O&W in there to make it look like they weren't evaluating Cal & Stanford because of governor Gavin. Bet the B1G takes C & S to lock up the whole state of CA.Big Ten evaluating Cal, Oregon, Stanford and Washington from Pac-12 as further expansion considered

Good for us either way. PAC loses two more teams and pretty soon no more PAC. Personally I would take C&S in a heartbeat.

Hopefully Phil Nike called us that day when he was working the phones. Oregon should be our first choice then Stanford. Then I would take geography from the bunch.

Stanford also helps us work some kind of deal with Norte Dame. I hate hate hate ND but if they can get one or two big 12 games on broadcast TV every Saturday and get us the pay day we want then I’m all for it.

i did a quick check of people with 10 or fewer followers on twitter and have at least once in the last week scanned or listened to some type of sports media and they are divided

OSU is dead weight.
As of last year, average Memphis football attendance was nearly 20% greater than OSU’s. WSU attendance is even worse.
Not a fan of making a push for either of them, but OSU is both larger and less remote then WSU so I don't see how they make WSU look attractive.

If the Big 10 takes 4 more PAC'ers (to satisfy Gov. Look-at-me-barely-competent) they are nuts.
Taking 2 more from the PAC would be optimal (for them and the B12.)
(It keeps 2 spaces open for the Eastern flank of Virginia & NC to complete the 20-team Big 10x2 - ND is staying "independent.")
Taking in the UofCal in any form or fashion is pure stupid (politics!) and they'll live to regret THAT move.
Stanford & Oregon, or,
Wash & Oregon (my choice)
either would be optimal for football and gives the Big 16-18 a real West Coast presence ( and traveling/time zone efficiencies.)

Exactly. However unlikely it is, there absolutely is a scenario where those schools want in the Big 12.
Anyone that left out CU, the #1or 2 of the 4 Rocky MST candidates, but throws in OSU ... can't be named Top Frog... lol !

It would appear that Arizona and CU are the most eager. Utah and ASU appear hesitant. Also chatter of a G5 team the conference may be interested in and my assumption is SDSU, to which I can see the attraction if and it would cut off PAC's top expansion target. If the goal is 20 I would say they are definitely in play.
