The B1G should give Florida an out after they've had time to get sick of Texas's shit.

A POTENTIAL PAUSE ON PLAYOFF EXPANSION
College Football Playoff expansion looked like a lock in early July with the expectation the system would jump from four to 12 teams. That seems far from a certainty now.
Bowlsby, along with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, was part of a four-person working group who helped craft the 12-eam proposal. And he seems to be hitting pause on that idea. Directing a question toward Bowlsby during his testimony Monday, Senator Lois Kolkhorst mentioned that 12 teams will soon have the potential to reach the playoff, to which Bowlsby interjected: “Maybe.”
When asked for clarification, Bowlsby said the landscape of college football has shifted in recent weeks, pointing toward the decision of Texas and Oklahoma to leave the Big 12 for the SEC.
“I was on the subcommittee to look at it,” Bowlsby said. “The tectonic plates have shifted a bit since the recommendation was made.
“That’s not a personal opinion at this point. That’s a reflection of what I’m reading in the trade publications. There’s a lot of chatter about people not being excited to move forward given what’s happened in the two weeks.”

If this is the B1G move, and the only B1G move, then I’m headed to Chicago and Kevin Warren will be seen doing the Buffalo Bill tuck dance of shame on the internet before he meets his maker.

I seriously doubt this is the only move. I suppose it is step 1…..and the ACC powers UNC and UVA are next. Then GT then the Pac12. These will all be premium academic schools with market power, bball, and enough to lure Nd.

Sure it does.
When dealing with a counter party who isn’t dealing in good faith, the first step is to fuck them over/delay their scheme.
Step two is to come over the top with a re-raise that ends the hand.

Just KU from the Big12. Other big names. UNC and UVA know Clemson and FSU are going to jump to the SEC. So they want to land somewhere and their big alums would not go redneck.
ESPN may have catalyzed its own relegation to a regional football channel.
