According to sportswriter, David Jones, of PENNLIVE, who has spoken to his very reliable sources, FOX is pushing hard NOT to have a B10 West that would include any more Pac12 teams such as Oregon and Washington , for two reasons. One, FOX believes those are not significant markets. Two, FOX wants USC and UCLA to play Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State very often to have these marquee games yearly. This conflicts with the plan to ease the travel burden on the California schools by creating a west division of former P12 members, something which FOX apparently opposes. The obvious ramifications of this for Rutgers might be that Rutgers would no longer play PSU, UM, and OSU every year. And that would be a good thing.
