With all due respect to the non revenue sports the nets don't care. Perhaps the CWS can buck that. It's nice to watch the NCAA golf tourneys but I bet that the ratings are miniscule.

I wonder how the Stanford Brahmans will feel about their hoops teams flying to Ann Arbor, College Station, Bloomington and points east for games. Same for baseball and softball. Plus you know that sooner or later the BIG20 will be playing primetime football on Wednesday and Thursday.

Stanford, if offered, will be forced to accept unless the school decides to disarm. Hard to believe that the Domers would refuse.

I'm also not so sure that the Bay Area has enough blue chippers to whet the super conferences' appetite. I think Oregon and ASU are more attractive and Utah and Colorado are closer to the center of the country.
