UCLA leaving for the B1G will impact Cal and now some officials are exploring having UCLA subsidizing Cal and other schools by way of direct payments or funneling state funds that would have gone to UCLA out to other schools instead.

Sad beaver noises.Cal should just join the Big Ten as well. They can bring Stanford, Oregon, and Washington with them to make it an even 20.
Nobody cares about the beavers!Gavin Newsom doesn’t care about beavers.
They would do exactly that if the Big 10 would have them. However, they don't bring enough TV's to raise that rights money split sooooo, that's not going to happen.Cal should just join the Big Ten as well. They can bring Stanford, Oregon, and Washington with them to make it an even 20.
San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose is the 6th largest tv market in America. Seattle/Tacoma is #12 and Portland is #21.They would do exactly that if the Big 10 would have them. However, they don't bring enough TV's to raise that rights money split sooooo, that's not going to happen.

I haven't studied the math nor do I understand the formulas the Big 10 uses to figure these things out but clearly they've done some research and that area just doesn't bring in enough TV's to make the split of TV money get bigger. If it did, they would be getting those schools to join as well, particularly Stanford which fits with the Big 10 academic culture so well.San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose is the 6th largest tv market in America.

I’d say that adds a few tv screens to the BTN footprint.
16 is the magic number. 20 is just too many, IMO.
Any way they can tap into markets in India and China?Big Ten should add a European school like Bordeaux just to **** with people.
Maybe CanadaBig Ten should add a European school like Bordeaux just to **** with people.
I'm thinking that night games featuring almost any BIG10 team against a former Pac10 team would draw well.I think having the late night game slot would help a little since there is no competition if we take these teams in. Im not sure how much value it would Bring with splitting the revenue with all teams listed tho
I and others have said before, imagine the University of Toronto in the Big Ten. Yes their football team sucks and they play on a 110 yard field, but if they were serious they could adapt and build to respectability. Probably faster than Rutgers.Maybe Canada
Bring in McGill as well.I and others have said before, imagine the University of Toronto in the Big Ten. Yes their football team sucks and they play on a 110 yard field, but if they were serious they could adapt and build to respectability. Probably faster than Rutgers.
Toronto is an AAU member, has over 60k students, and is basically a Big Ten equivalent school in Canada. It also sits in a metropolitan area of almost 10MM people. It could pay for itself if you could get BTN on all of the TV sets in the area.
I think that would be a great partner to bring in if ND ever decides to cave and join.
Toronto would bring in all the TV sets in Canada, all 11M. Nearly everyone in Canada from Yukon to Nova Scotia is a Blue Jays fan.I and others have said before, imagine the University of Toronto in the Big Ten.

Nice, how do we get the Blue Jays into the Big Ten?Toronto would bring in all the TV sets in Canada, all 11M. Nearly everyone in Canada from Yukon to Nova Scotia is a Blue Jays fan.

Bring in McGill as well.
I'm not even sure the Iowa legislature passing a law like this will work anymore.The B1G(6), will not invite the clowns, the worst thing that could happen is the state legislature passed a bill requiring the schools to play each other annually.
Evidently, the Big 10 is still studying bringing in more teams. There are no scenarios I have heard rumored that involve Cal though.San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose is the 6th largest tv market in America. Seattle/Tacoma is #12 and Portland is #21.

If we/the big ten really wanted them it would have happened by now. They are part of a plan B down the road, if at all.I will be very surprised if the B1G doesn’t add some more west coast teams. It’s going to be very expensive and cumbersome for USC and UCLA to have all their sports teams making all those trips to the midwest and east coast. I think when all the dust settles, the core of the PAC-12 will essentially become the Big Ten West along with Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
