I don't even WANT ND, they are too STUCK on themselves....
They're too good for the Big 10 before, so hell with them.
The gain for Nebraska or Missouri would be vastly increased revenues.
The Big Ten thanks to their Own TV Network plus thier deals with ABC/ESPN makes far more money to hand out to their members than the Big 12 does.
I think the first most obvious choice would be Notre Dame but they probably can't get them.
After that Nebraska,Missouri and possibly a couple of others.
Only teams out of the Big East that would make sense would be Pitt or West Virginia. Rutgers brings nothing to the table whatsoever.
Wasn't the Pac 12 originally the Pac 8 ?
you mean the Pac 10?
They were the Pac 8 at one time
same with the Big 12..they were the Big 8

That was a dig at the Big-11 for NOT changing the name. Notice the wink.ya, thats it !
Just pointing out that the Conference name was changed to reflect the number of teams.
Responding to mdonnelly 's post a few posts up.

Joe Pa begs to differ.I think Pitt would be a nice addition to the confrence
Iowa ad says he don't think it's gonna happen. that being said i'd say Pitt. i mean seriously cuse, misery, or nd what could they bring to the table besides a history of mediocre seasons followed by one or two good seasons?Joe Pa begs to differ.
How is Pitt any different? They are as mediocre as anyone. ND at least has an 80,000 seat stadium that is never empty and a ton of hard core fans.Iowa ad says he don't think it's gonna happen. that being said i'd say Pitt. i mean seriously cuse, misery, or nd what could they bring to the table besides a history of mediocre seasons followed by one or two good seasons?

My thought exactly Anders .
Not sure how Pitt would help, they are good a few years out of a decade.
Academically, Pitt ranks above 4 current BigTen members.
If you think this is solely based on sports, you are crazy.
Gotta believe that ALOT has to do with SPORTS.
What is the list academically ?
Northwestern has to be up there higher than Pitt.
ND not joining has more to do with thier own stubbornness than anything.
And more importantly, Penn St. couldn't keep ducking matches with Pitt.Another note I guess Pitt will have to schedual cup cake teams for out of conference football games like penn state.
