for football. I can't see the SEC having any interest in Syracuse, BC, Wake Forest, or Duke football. And if I were Louisville, Georgia Tech, or Pitt, I'd also be looking over my shoulder.
That leaves Clemson, FSU, Miami, Va Tech, NC State, UNC, and maybe UVA. Maybe they would throw in Ga Tech to make it a majority so that the conference could presumably be dissolved, which might make the grant of rights issue easier to dispense with.
If this were to happen, then it makes intuitive sense that the B1G would also expand to 24. To do that, they would add:
USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon, Iowa State, University of Arizona, Stanford, Cal, Colorado, and Utah. The three non-AAU Pac-12 members (ASU, Washington State, Oregon State) get cut.
That would leave two "conferences" of 24 schools each with ND and BYU independent and making it 50 in all.
