Northwestern Prez (just left Oregon last year), says more western schools helps

... alleviate travel burden issues among the rest of the Big10.

According to the Daily Northwestern, NU president Michael Schill (previously of Oregon) had some interesting thoughts re: realignment (and other topics)https://t.co/eUzMPEZKVm pic.twitter.com/kqfAFVyCFt

Who could have predicted he would leave Oregon and join the B12 Anon cabal

I'll take, 'That's a no brainer for 100, Alex.'

Not sure. Maybe they need 5-6 out west to really reduce travel on the rest...

Let’s hope not. Otherwise Utes are in. Wait. Maybe BYU is in if u meant 6 more.

Football travel west for the East teams goes up 50% with 4-6 teams in the West

It actually adds more travel to most of the B10, but helps the two CA schools.

With airplanes, travel isn't really a big deal timewise. But is costwise.

True, tavel & travel costs go up. That is why the NW president's comment is dumb

You'd think the president of NW would have decent math skills... you'd be wrong

If 4 West school always play each other, then that's 2 fewer other schools

"...not so much for football, but the other sports" and read Bandit post below.

This.

No. If there are more western teams to play at UCLA and USC - fewer midwestern

Read "Let's do the math" below. Also, point still stands about all other sports.

Go East by going West

5/23/23 11:58am

This doesn’t even make sense

Let's do the math:

Thanks for running the math. So having 4 isn't that many more games than 2, and

More teams means more trips unless they create a west division that plays itself mainly

Do this

More west coast teams takes care of their late night Nov game problem too.

Helps SC and UCLA. Increases cost for everyone else... Ivory tower strikes again
