I was thinking about all this new talk about ACC schools and also the other PAC schools. I know when we hear "soon" or "near future" we as fans start thinking like right now. To the B1G those could mean "in the next 10 years" or so. How long were we at 11 teams before Nebby was added? Quite a while.
I was thinking the B1G could get more teams lined up ready to join but not actually do it until right before the next media rights negotiations. Like how USC & UCLA are going to be whole right away with this new deal when they join. So it may be a long shot but I wouldn't be surprised if right before the next media deal is done we see a "OMG (4 schools names) are joining the B1G???!!" ala USC & UCLA. It's almost the best time for this to happen when the new deal will include the new schools and everyone is made whole in it.
OFC if Notre Dame says "hey daddy B1G? We are ready to join now" you take them right away. lol (which I highly doubt ever happens with an expanded Playoff that will include non SEC/B1G schools).
But yah I doubt it would happen this way again but you never know. *shrug*
