I gotta say: the B1G. B1G territory now includes the top 3 metros:

New York City, NY (Population: 8,622,357)
Los Angeles, CA (Population: 4,085,014)
Chicago, IL (Population: 2,670,406)

The B1G is - like ND fancies itself - a truly, national power and will include more of its historic rivals, than the SEC.

But, Disney/ESPN/SEC will make their pitch.

ND: To the B1G or SEC?
