mgoblog rumor from "sources" that were out front of USC/UCLA to B1G:

ND / Stanford will bring B1G to 18 teams

I would be surprised.  Then again, I was surprised that USC and UCLA bolted.

BTW, here’s the math of USC/UCLA and what it would be for Oregon/Washington:

The 14 existing conference members know they’ll receive approximately $71.4 million per university under the new Fox deal. Adding two more partners only made sense if they could generate a minimum of $143 million in additional distributable revenue.

UCLA and USC could deliver that. On the other hand, Oregon/Washington can’t:

However, Thompson estimated that those two Pac-12 universities, along with the Oregon and Washington television markets, would only generate an additional $60 million in combined additional revenues.

I’m surprised it is that low, and I expect Stanford can deliver even less than that. We are not going to be candidates for the BIG-whatever.
