Well Washington and Oregon will join the Big Ten in all sports beginning in the 2024-2025 season.
A few thoughts
1) Oregon is a national brand mostly because of Phil Knight, do they have the resources to sustain their current level of committment after he dies?
2) With Stanford and Cal seemingly left out in the cold that does a number on the value of the ND games with them. Maybe ND stays independtant, but the other thing is that if they want to go out West beyond playing USC and Stanford/Cal then they are going to have to play a Big Ten team.
3) Oregon actually is a pretty good basketball team while Washington is okay. Not a driver but the Big Ten basketball side is going to be crazy deep when these 4 teams come in. If they go with 18 teams. Your top 4 teams would get a double bye (not playing until Day 3). Team #5 would play the 15/18 game winner and the 6 seed team would play the 16/17 game winner.
4) If the ACC goes belly up I wonder if the ultimate play would be UNC and ND.
2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR
I think the ultimate play would be FSU/Clemson but ND’s head mounted on a wall would please me too:
Something I had not realized is that ND joined the AAU this year.

So I wonder where the conference championships in football and basketball will be held, once all these PAC teams come in. Still in Indy and/or Chicago, or will they do something stupid and put it in a non-conference city like Denver?
