Things changed. Three weeks ago according to "most sources" the SE region was the goal for B10 expansion and Miami was on the list of the next 4 to be brought in to the B10 (FSU /Clemson / Miami / UNC). Then the Pac 12 imploded and the B10, with pressure from FOX move up their plans regarding / WA ... instead of grabbing them AFTER the ACC schools they were bumped next into line. Miami will end up in the B10 some day ... not sure if it will be in this decade however the way things are going.
Again, and I cannot emphasize this enough...
Washington and Oregon are taking 30M each. That is actually LESS THAN a half-share. This wasn't just Fox saying "lock up the Pacific NW", this was Fox saying "we can't afford NOT to take Washington-Oregon at those bargain-basement prices".
I guaran-*******-tee you, if UCF and USF offered to take $1 per year for 10 years, the Big 10 would invite those schools in UNDER one week.
