Then they are never getting UNC, UVA, Duke, GA Tech, Notre Dame. For the ACC to go away, FSU and Clemson need to leave. If the SEC takes those schools, they and ESPN know it drives those 5 schools to the B1G.

Non B1G AAU schools:

P12 - Arizona, Stanford, Cal, UCLA, USC, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Washington

It makes sense for the B1G to take 6 of these for sure. They add markets, FB brands, a western pod. Even if you take Stanford and Cal, you cut off the fat from the P12.

SEC - Florida, Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt

Florida would be a very difficult get. The other 4 have less loyalty and could be enticed IMO.

ACC - GA Tech, Duke, UNC, Pitt, UVA

Pitt doesn't add a lot of non academic value. None of these are available without the ACC dying.

B12 - Iowa State, Kansas

I think they eventually take KU. ISU only gets it if they need 1 more team to make a balanced league.

The B1G isn't kicking Nebraska out. Would they really not take Clemson, FSU, Notre Dame, or Oklahoma? Or SU, who used to be AAU? BC? UConn? Miami?
