Washington & UTAH. These two schools will add travel partners for USC & UCLA while bringing in two universities the B1G President's would be on board with in the B1G. This would pit the B1G with all 4 time zones across the country.
This would give the B1G 18 schools which would still fit in the no divisions model.
The real question is how would a division less or pod less single division work with 24 schools. As the 24 team model appears to be KW's goal.
Personally, the single no division model simply doesn't work for me (my opinion). I get the idea behind it, but, does it really offer the greatest competitive format? It is possible, I suppose so, but the pod concept IMHO offers the greatest advantage to limit crazy travel and still allows a national competitiveness within the league over all.
Before any new additions our current or new media partners must come up with more money, with the right mix of schools, the demand for the content they would bring will be there.
I suspect that ESPN would have jumped on the western expansion, but, I believe they nixed that idea because they will fight against the B1G expansion because the b1G cut ESPN's pet animal, the SEC out from going national.
We will see as the league moves forward! It will be what it is... This is why the league honchos are paid the big bucks to manage B1G sports.
What a way to make a living!!!...
