That's going to be a nightmare for their conference when it comes to travel arrangements. They are already about to spread from North East/Midwest to California. I don't know how it could manage the sports that aren't generating profit eating serious chunks of cash just in travel.

I don’t know that it will be a big deal.
4 divisions of 7 teams each.
PAC, B1G, B1G, ACC
So a 8 game schedule would be 6 in division, one game to travel to.. and one will travel to you. A 10 game schedule will be 2 travel dates.. not that big of a deal.
Imo it will really function more like 2-4 conferences under one big umbrella.

This, and those southern and west coast teams playing on the road in October, November and December should be fun...

For football, they’ll be fine with travel arrangements. What’s a few more hours on a plane for 18-22 year olds?
The major problem will be the massive expense for travel for the non-revenue generating sports. I know most fly commercial for the most part, but damn.

I don't follow this so closely, but aren't we coming to an end of the crazy tv deals? I thought Disney was cutting costs and it seems like growing the conference to that degree may just lead to diminishing returns.

Well if they go to say 24 by adding all 10 of those teams. Then you have a version of the NFL, lets call this league BIG_NFC to use an NFL term. You have 24 teams, then you go to 4 Divisions within the BIG_NFC with 6 teams each. You play all 5 of your division, and you play based some combination from the other Divisions, 2-2-2 for 11 league games, or all 6 from 1 division and rotate the divisions every 4th year. Division winners all make a playoff.
If the BIG10 is leaking this out, this tells you where CFP is heading, to an NFL like Model with a College version of the NFC and AFC.

I haven't looked into it too much, but for non-revenue sports, OSU already had some not B1G affiliations where the varsity team wasn't in the B1G. Theoretically they could do the same for the non large sports for the Cali schools where they stay in the Pac or WAC for certain sports still
