[QUOTE="MichiganHerd, post: 131746442, member: 1536401"] I know all that. B1G made a big play years ago, specifically on Texas. Longhorn network got in the way, which ESPN orchestrated. Brilliant cock block on Fox. Nobody really understood that at the time, but I did, as well as everyone at Fox. Now they locked them into the SEC, all because of their investment into the Longhorn network. Every other big XII team didn't like it, but Oklahoma never complained too loud, because they knew they were hanging onto Texas shirt tails long term. Best thing the B1G can do is stay idle (thanks Pratt, you prick), and allow other lower level conferences to make moves. B1G controls the big dollars, with Fox, and can sit back and bring in the biggest names (non SEC) in football. Thinking USC, Washington, UCLA, Stanford, north Carolina, and probably Georgia Tech and/or Virginia, just to make a footprint for the latter. Of course, Kansas is a sleeping giant in all of this. People make fun of their football team, but add them to the B1G or SEC and they become a giant. [/QUOTE]
