It looks like Iowa and Ohio State are opposed to further expansion of the B1G. I'm glad to see it. 16 is the perfect number for a conference. Any more and it loses its identity, ceases to be like a conference, and becomes more of a TV contract negotiating unit. Hopefully RU will join with Iowa and OSU in opposition to any further moves.

The additional cost of travel to the Pacific NW would be exorbitant, especially for all of the non-revenue sports teams. Most B1G schools don't have large alumni bases there. If the B1G were to take in Oregon and Washington, it would surely destroy the Pac12 and leave many proud programs out in the cold, ASU and the UofA among them. RU fans should be able to relate to how miserable that would leave the fan bases of those universities because we could easily have suffered the same fate.
