College Football 2021: Cash is King

Is Nike worth $750,000,000/yr plus TV market - to the conference?
Doesn't have the TV market but I bet Nike is worth close to the split of TV money to each school.

(Oregon is at the top or near the top of revenue rankings every year largely because of Nike)

The Big Ten would have Stanford on the phone in minutes if that happened.

Or ND and USC would come together as a pair. They're going to want to have an annual game anyway.

I'd guess USC/Stanford in a "Regents veto UCLA move" scenario. It gets a USC travel partner and the SF/SJ media market and Stanford as a portal to Silicon Valley. And that combo is just too enticing to Notre Dame so the bait is set.
 
That removes the two private schools from the otherwise-public Pac-12, and the two largest ND rivals. I mean I guess there's a theme there, but I don't think Stanford is your top 2 choice if you want the largest following (and remember I'm the Stanford fan here).

Counterpoint: Northwestern and Rutgers.
 
Define: "Following".

The B1G wants media market eyeballs. Getting LA (USC) and SF/SJ (Stanford) is "following" under that criteria.

Don't believe me? Rutgers --> NJ/NYC media market. Maryland --> DMV media market. NW'n --> CHI market. Those three make little sense otherwise.

Northwestern shouldn’t really be used as an example. They’re a founding member from the 1800s. If they didn’t join then they could easily be UChicago or Lake Forest.
