Trade Missouri to the B1G (which is where they want to be anyway) and take Maryland that has no business in the B1G but wouldn't look bad in the SEC, especially if we raided the ACC for Virginia Tech and NC State. As much as I love that Vandy road trip (and it is fantastic), we could soften the blow by letting the ACC have Vandy which is a good fit.
Remember, it's about your conference footprint for TV revenue. We want a major team in each state, but we don't need all the major teams in each state. Same for other conferences.
Nebraska has no business in the B1G. Not so sure about Iowa either. All those big square-looking states in the middle of nowhere need to play each other, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, the Montanas, Idaho, the Dakotas, etc. make a conference out of that chunk.
Ah, forget it.
