The ACC gets WV, Cinci, Notre Dame to go to 18.

The B1G gets Stan, Oregon, Wash and CO - the 5 West Coast schools form a travel pod,
CO joins NE, IA, MN and WI (everyone in those place knows how to ski)

travel pod?

Here's google's answers in mile distance when I typed in searches:

1141 usc to seattle

1503 usc to unl

1670 seattle to UNL

862 usc to eugene oregon

383 usc to AZ state

364 usc to stanford

Somehow, I don't think OR and WA constitute a "travel pod".

Anything out west is like that. It's a big country.

My point was that, if adding 2 more schools to create a "pod", one might wish to look closer geographically - AZ state and Stanford, under 400 miles - as opposed to the over a thousand miles to seattle.

Oregon and Washington would be great travel partners for the Big Ten. It's an easy 1-hour non-stop flight between Seattle and Eugene.

While the Texas snub back in 1990 keeps earning interest as the all-time bad move, this one's probably not far off from that lead, imo.
