Look at the last B1G adds
Penn State = Public
Nebraska = Public
Maryland = Public
Rutgers = Public
UCLA = Public
USC = Private (but paired with UCLA)

Washington = Public
Oregon = Public

Now look at the ACC additions with realignment
2004 = Miami / PRIVATE
2005 = Boston College / PRIVATE
2013 = Notre Dame / PRIVATE (all sports but CFB)
2013 = Syracuse / PRIVATE
