Right now, the focus should be for XII to (re)gain a pissed-off Nebraska program, that has been shown its value by not "tv execs", but B1G fans & alumni, as nada...
But, to get Nebraska, XII needs to bring something that makes it look like: "p.r. win" for the Huskers, as NU won't come back to XII as is, hat in hand, needs selling...
For Nebraska to tell fans, "Hey we're going back to a new & untouchable XII that's adding Colorado in division, with Oklahoma & Texas" would be enough for most...
But to also say "Nebraska will have cross-divisional tilt vs: Washington/ Oregon/ California/ UCLA/ USC/ Arizona/ Arizona State & Utah" would be a "NU home run"...
If looking at this from the lens of when ESPN poached BigEast for it's prized jewels (in 2 raids) an objective was what needs to make Miami happy enough to move...
Just as USC would want something to sell fans that says "hey, we are keeping majority of old rivals in this move" so as to not look meek - "PAC is dead, no choice"...
When ESPN pulled Miami to ACC, the 1st adds were: Virginia Tech/ Boston College, and, I'd argue the pair is similar to USC wanting to keep Oregon/ Washington...
When #ACCStrikesBack in the 2nd raid, it was for Syracuse (who ACC wanted at 1st) & Pittsburgh, who we could argue as at least on par with California & UCLA...
And this can compare the last move (not discounting the wonderful move of adding 62.5% of Notre Dame football #OnlyShowInTheMidwest this year) to Louisville...
When ACC added Cardinals, a land bridge from Notre Dame to rest of ACC (notably Virginia & North Carolina) formed, Arizona/ Arizona State/ Utah do similar too...
In this situation, ESPN would place Kansas State & Oklahoma State in SEC, then "XVI v SEC" end of year games could be similar to "ACC v SEC" end of year tilts..
.
Nebraska v Kansas State/ Oklahoma v Oklahoma State/ Texas v Texas A&M/ TCU v Arkansas. games that follow of traditional ACC v SEC tilts, on ESPN networks...
Kentucky v Louisville/ Clemson v South Carolina/ Georgia v Georgia Tech/ Florida v Florida State games that would air before the western foes on ESPN channels... On a side note I see another similarity, a ACC has created a consortium for research just as in B1G, I've said same is possible in XII raiding PAC (all AAU -1 team)...
