Being vetted means the Big 10 is doing their research...not necessarily that all 10 of these will get an invite, but some or all could.

-- California
-- Duke
-- Georgia Tech
-- Miami
-- North Carolina
-- Oregon
-- Stanford
-- Utah
-- Virginia
-- Washington


For sure, the ACC & Pac-12 are living off borrowed time.

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.

FSU would be a bigger get than Florida and Miami combined. Miami is irrelevant.

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

Florida exists as it does because it’s the only SEC school in a massive state. Not counting Vandy, Florida has the least in common with the average SEC program.

I’m not from Florida but my impression is that FSU has significant better fan support than Florida. Athletics south of the panhandle are an afterthought.

It was 82 degrees over the weekend in Gainesville and there were like 15 people at your regional. It’s like watching a UCLA game.

If FSU is a bigger get than UF that also applies to GT being a bigger get than UGA.

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.
