RE: We should go hard after Kansas fans Oklahoma to bring in Texas
I'd like to see the B1G try and get Mizzou, KU, OU. I think Mizzou would move.
OU is basically Nebraska athletically and academically. Big time, national football following and OU would provide access to North Texas, the Sooners have a huge presence in North Texas/Dallas.
As far the fourth addition to go with the above three, I'd like to see Notre Dame. ND would provide all the east coast exposure you could want without the travel. Notre Dame fits the B1G model perfectly. And like OU, it wouldn't be an AAU member but I think the conference would look the other way for both nationally recognized programs.
If Notre Dame is still out of reach then maybe go after another SEC team like Vanderbilt. No exit fees or GOR issues to deal with from that conference. And Nashville would be a great TV market.
Texas certainly fits the B1G mold too, but UT is a cancer.
