The next targets may simply be the most disgruntled. That does not include Notre Dame. They have things just the way they want them. Lots of money, in command of who they play and when, and access to the national title. Top four most disgruntled college football schools are Florida State, Oregon, Clemson and Washington State. IMO. They are the most likely to be asking for a way out and the most likely to be listened to. Kansas is probably disgruntled but not that great an asset. They could be replaced by Arizona, Gonzaga, Creighton, Butler or UConn. Look to the very unhappy schools at the top for the next shift. PAC 12 better get a contract soon and that may not be enough for Oregon and Washington. Maybe Phil Knight will step in and make the Pac10 the Nike Conference, the first privately owned College Sports Conference.
