All the SEC/B10 need to do is refuse to play ND till they get in. Problem solved

Not a chance Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue and USC agree to that.

The real good news out of that is that B1G and $EC can’t control the playoff

Ugh... ND not joining the B1G helps yewtah... Then UO and UW are on the docket with the B1G and makes yewtah more likely

I agree, and have a ND source (admittedly not a ridiculously well-connected one)

I don't think the BIG expands w/o ND. Nobody else adds enough value to the mix.

I hope to heck you're right, AND I hope that's made known to all parties before

If no more additions could mean a battle between pac 12 and big 12 for survival.

The first moves need to be about survival. The pac 12 sitll has better brands

I don't think anybody here is thinking the Big12 is superior at anything.

There is a 0% chance the 4 schools the big 12 gets are Stanford, UO, UW, and ASU
