*****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

what you thought you knew now you don't. I find it interesting that Dukes Coach K wants to go to 16 but he wants to stay in the Eastern time zone.

If ACC wants 2 more, pray they take Rutgers to eliminate another AAU school from the B10 radar.

As scared as I would be if im ISU,BU,KSU,KU,Cincy,UL,UCONN or Rutgers. Id be really scared if I was one of the 7 Big East schools that don't play D1 football

Hope GG and JP are burning the midnight oil tonight

I don't think Texas has a clue what it wants to do next. They certainly seem lost right now

Why? They will just be their own conference then. Not a biggie.

The Rivals site at Rutgers is stating they have been in contact with the B1G.

A&M president said at halftime that everything will fall into place in the next couple days and he was not surprised by the ACC news today.

7 schools can't be a conference

I think they meant, B1G TONY

Not sure what they have to worry about. They likely form their own conference. Maybe they pull in a little less money without some of the other Big East basketball schools.

Im sure they have been in contact since last year.

One thing that gets lost in this...ISU is searching for a new president. You hope this realignment issue doesn't chase quality candidates away, and you hope that the new president has a firm grasp of what's going on. Not to mention understands the role of athletics in the college landscape now.

Don't trust anyone that wears a bow tie (or a tunic)

Add Texas Tech to that 1st list too.

And imagine if you're Georgetown/Villanova who is basically going to have to join up the BB big east schools with half the A-10. Think they're going to be pleased about that move?

I wonder if they have any pull with lawmakers being so close to DC?

 

[gocubs2118]

The B1G doesn't have to add teams, I'd be surprised if they did.

 

[helechopper]

We gotta get into the Big 10. Period.

Damn.

9 Candidates have had preliminary interviews (in Minneapolis). (as of yesterday) The committee will narrow it to 5 then hold on-campus interviews.
