to get to 20 and then add the 4 ACC schools later when they're available. There are a lot of reasons why this is a cringe take, but it still makes a lot of sense.
UW and Oregon are easily in the top 3-4 brands not in ACC/SEC/B1G. AZ/ASU bring in the Phoenix market which is fifth largest market in the US behind NYC, LA, Chicago, & Houston and growing fast. These schools could be in their own pod along with Tejas and maybe OU.
The SEC will suffer long-term if it remains regional while the B1G has a national presence. This is all about money at the end of the day.
I know the northwest does not align culturally with the SEC, you don't need to bring that up. My point is that at the end of the day, this is about money. If UO/UW can't get into the B1G now we should add them.
Feel free to laugh at me now.
