RE: Does the B1G have a Temple clause?

I fully expect to see the BIG grab OK and UKan, which are both small state schools, but have large antional followings. But that will be a second option for both. First the BIG will go after UVa & UNC in an attempt to grab what it sees as the best combination on the board. Once that doesn't work out, it will wait for the **** to really fly. The ACC will panic and invite Tx with a ND membership deal that lets it keep all of its football revenue. Once Tx is off the board, the rest of the B12 schools will be scrambling to find a safe place. That may be enough to free Ok of OSU and UK of KSU and allow them to move.
Copying and pasting from the SEC board since someone thought of an interesting way of doing this:
Quote:American Private Conference (or APC):
North: Boston College, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh*, Stanford, Syracuse, USC
South: BYU, TCU, Baylor, Vanderbilt, Miami, Duke, Wake Forest
*Hybrid private/state school
Rice/Tulane deleted. The divisions are essentially "Irish & Friends" and "Others".
Big 10:
West: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa St, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue, Wisconsin
East: Maryland, Michigan, Michigan St, North Carolina, Ohio St, Penn St, Virginia, Rutgers
Divisions of 8 make scheduling just as easy as divisions of 4. I prefer the simplicity of 2 divisions than 4.
SEC:
West: Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi St, Texas A&M
North: Kentucky, Louisville, Missouri, Virginia Tech, West Virginia
South: Alabama, Florida St, Georgia Tech, North Carolina St, Tennessee
East: Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina
PAC:
West: Arizona, Arizona St, California, Oregon, Oregon St, UCLA, Washington, Washington St
East: Colorado, Kansas, Kansas St, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas, Texas Tech, Utah
Basically, Northwestern is moved to a conference of private schools that has USC, Notre Dame and Stanford. Iowa State moves in to take the open spot. Texas and friends move west to shore up the PAC. Not likely to happen but I like the idea.
