Final thoughts

I am stoked to see Oregon and Washington join the Big Ten. While I understand the point of view of those who hate this move, it will make the Big Ten much more entertaining.

Michigan football stands to benefit a lot from the expansion. If the Wolverines play their cards right, they could see their brand grow even more.

The times are a-changin’ and the Big Ten seems to be on top of things. I would expect that the Big Ten will continue to add teams as the opportunities present themselves. The most common names brought up have been Notre Dame, Florida State, and Clemson.

I think Notre Dame is the most likely of that group, but Florida State and Clemson would offer a lot of benefits for the Big Ten, namely southern growth.

College football is changing. Like it or not, Michigan football is going to have some more competition in the future. Go Blue!
