This is the same guy who said Nebraska shouldn’t have gone to the Big Ten, nor Missouri to the SEC.

He isn't saying what will happen. He is saying he thinks the Big 10 should look south, not west.

If you are going in pure monetary terms and willing to wait until 2036, that makes sense. FSU and Miami are probably more valuable than anybody left in the west.
But every indication is that the Big 10 is looking now and is not solely looking at short term TV value.

He doesn't think anyone will move from the Pac 10 now, but he comments that it all changes should UW or Oregon leave.

Warren has never said what the final number is for expansion like a good poker player playing his cards close to his vest, he was asked if the B1G could go to 20 he resolutely said yes, the interviewer never asked him what the final number was. Which means B1G in reality could go beyond 20. In due time they'll look south

In the absence of Notre Dame joining the Big Ten, I think it's safe to say Oregon and Washington will be added to the Big Ten very soon.

And once that is announced, I expect Arizona and CU to join the Big 12.

Cool, I hope they do wait until 2036 for FSU and Miami. We'll have had a fair shot to move past both of them at that point - and I think we will.

I agree with this assessment. UCF has been a sleeping giant since joining the MAC 20 years ago.

I can save everyone a few minutes. Neinas has no idea what is going to happen next and has no inside scoop about anything. Hope that helps!!!!

Neinas is 91 years old. When he heard about steaming he thinks people are talking about his prostate. We are supposed to think he knows how this all is all going to shake out?
