What's this?

B1G

Kansas and Oklahoma would be excellent additions to the B1G. The main issue I see as a possible roadblock would be how does each school leave behind their “little brothers” Kansas State and Oklahoma State? This has not been accomplished in the past. Schools were either the only major school (Nebraska, Mizzou and Maryland) in that state or the perceived “little brother” (A&M) moved on.
