WSU should make a Hail Mary to the Big 10

And here is the pitch. Think of wsu and osu temporary placeholders for bigger fish . If Miami and FSU become available or Notre Dame we get booted with one years notice . Take 24 mil a year and even up the divisions .
NEXT, look at the Big 12 and point out our record vs those of cu, Arizona ,asu over the last 10 years . Then have them check their viewership over that same time frame . Wsu is easily as attractive or more so than Central Florida , WVU or Maryland .

Maryland was among the top 20 teams for viewership in 2022. Some of that is due to playing OSU, Michigan, Penn State, but still.... Its the B1G effect.

Interesting concept ED … definitely outside the box thinking like HDTH suggested.

Has any conference ever tried such a tactic?

Reminds me of a buddy whose wife convinced him to allow his mother-in-law to move in on a temporary basis.

Now, 20 years later (and much to my friend's chagrin), she's still there.

Maybe the Cougs could just say "we're not leaving" when ND and Miami showed up on the Big Ten's doorstep 🤔
