Big Ten expanding?

Anyone have any opinions on this? They're obviously going to raid the Big East, but I think its more complicated than that. The Big East had already been crippled by a stealth raid from the ACC, and luckily recovered with two of the new teams winning the conference in recent years. I think the BE, having experience with this type of thing, might be able to successfully defend against an attack.

I'm sorry but i have no idea what you are talking about.

dear GOD let's hope not.

They don't know how to count to eleven as it is. How do they intend to go all the way up to twelve?

They have been listing funny names for the conference on ESPN radio all day
"Big 10 and friends" "Big 10 plus some" "Big Slow"

[QUOTE="wstfld"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] How will they defend exactly?rawsavon

I don't have a clue what this topic is about anyone explain? Is it about the building in London or the kids cartoon show?

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="wstfld"] Force all the members to immediately sign a 10-year commitment or something like that. If a school doesn't sign kick them out effective after this school year. Make the schools gamble; do you want to sign the deal or become independent hoping the Big Ten gives you an invite?wstfld

I've heard people say that Syracuse is high up on their lists... which is absolutely ridiculous... but I think if they were to take a BEast team, they'd try to go after Notre Dame again... It's a good fit geographically and academically, plus the BEast would only miss them on the basketball side of things. They're independent in football, so it wouldn't hurt the BEast's efforts to find a 9th football member. We could yank Memphis from C-USA and all would be well again.Dark__Link

Me thinks even many Americans would be confused by the OP -I am just a sports nutrawsavon

Also my post just there rhymed so hard.

No idea who the new team would be, but their conference really needs it. Lack of championship game, and shorter season compared to everyone else has killed them in bowl games. If they do get that 12th team, they really need to change the name of the conference. I favor something in regards to the Great Lakes or something along those lines. ESPN reported today that Missouri was somewhat interested in talks about it. If Missouri leaves the Big 10, I favor TCU joining the Big 12.

Rutgers makes the most sense when you break the whole thing down.
