USC leaving tens of millions of annual revenue on the table it seems if they stand pat.

If USC leaves for Big Ten the money of course is important. But it’s also about the new era of NIL and how important it is to be part of a top conference brand to show your recruits. Top brands playing top brands more often is crucial. USC solves lots of issues moving to Big Tem.

The only sweet spot, short of all 4 Cali schools, UO & UW, would be USC, UO, UW & CU. But idk if USC would leave without UCLA.

I agree.

Couldn’t USC/Stanford/Oregon/Washington go? Or is Stanford not willing to leave Cal and USC not willing to leave UCLA?
Greg Flugaur@flugempire·9m
Everything I’ve heard is the 4 Cali schools are not breaking apart. Yes, USC and Stanford are private, so on paper there is possibility, but not in the real world of California’s institutional unity.

I think if you are anybody but Ohio state or Michigan you take the 6 even if you take a small loss. This move helps assure conference survival.

Michigan would definitely be in favor of the expansion of California schools. It’s Ohio St which is the wild card. Michigan’s administration would push for Stanford, California and the whole thing. Schools like Ohio St, Penn St, Purdue & Indiana might balk at the idea

Is there a scenario where USC leaves the other CA schools behind, and brings say, Oregon, Washington, and one other?
Greg Flugaur@flugempire·7m
I think it’s very small chance…very small.

There is a misunderstanding when it comes to University of Michigan’s concerns on Big Ten expansion.
Top 3 concerns:
1) Is the new addition a large research university?
2) Is the new addition a large research university?
3) Is the new addition a large research university?

Greg- love your insights - isn’t the research piece 2-3x more valuable than TV?

That was the point of my tweet.
