RE: Big 10 network could be pulled out of even big 10 markets

But the legacy members aren’t playing every year any more. How did BYU like getting split off from AF, Wyoming and Colorado St? They hated it so much that 2 years later they created the MWC.
Rutgers and Maryland look about as solid now as rust peeking through the bondo!
Hahahahaha
But In all seriousness they are good. Unless the Big 10 originals pull a WAC 16 and form their own conference minus Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska and Purdue or Northwestern. As a native Iowan with Hawkeye blood in me, that’s the 9 team conference I want:
The New Big 10-1= Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan St, Ohio St, Penn St
Nebraska can rejoin the Big 12. The other 4 can join the new northern wing of the AAC with UConn, Temple, Cincinnati and Navy.
To cut to the chase we could be looking at a radical move before this is over with circa a plan from 1972:
West: Arizona, Arizona State, California, Oregon, USC, Stanford, U.C.L.A., Washington
South: Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, L.S.U., Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M
East: Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, N.C. State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia Tech
North: Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin
Those 32 in one conference of 4 divisions negotiating their TV contact as 1.
That would be your upper tier. Perhaps Ole Miss instead of Missouri but Mizzou has the bigger market. Perhaps North Carolina instead of N.C. State if the Heels get serious about football.
Exactly, it's a warning to all conference networks and everybody is taking notice. Markets are meaning very little and it's all about matchups, must see games. That's where it's headed so buckle up, its getting interesting.

You mean College football is all about matchups, rivalries, pageantry and state bragging rights and not about markets and manufactured ESPN made conferences like the Big East and ACC? Hmmmm...that’s so 1890 to 1990 thinking!
