I can't imagine why I'd be against this if I were a FAN of a B1G school. More chances to visit California and have games on TV there and adding some conference members who are unlikely to be major competitive threats (at least from their perspective)? And they add more academic prestige to the league? What's the problem?

I get why the TV networks would be less excited. But the fans? Once USC and UCLA are there, why not?
And not sure why they have the impression that UCLA is so much athletically superior than Cal and Stanford. Certainly, UCLA has a historic basketball program, but football has never consistently been at the top of the Pac. We certainly have more higher profile players in the NFL.

Some fans seem to be butthurt at the prospect of their favorite team getting less money.
But honestly, the most common POV I'm seeing is just shitting on Cal and Furd's football prowess.
I don't even think they'd be getting less money. Any arrangement to bring in new schools would have to keep the existing ones whole.

As you can see from that OSU dude, they only think about football and nothing else
Ignorance, probably.
