Wow- if ESPN is jumping on this, there must be something to it...
If Maryland/Rutgers go to the B10, are there other dominoes that fall?
-UConn to ACC?
-Big East would need at least 1 more to get to back to 12 when Navy joins...Air Force or BYU?
-Does the entrance of UConn to the ACC get Florida State or Clemson upset enough to pack their bags?
-Do Va Tech or NC State sense enough instability to reconsider the SEC's offers?

Can we jump to the big 10 too? A few more football games against unranked teams would be nice
For a couple of years, but then recruiting will suffer because of not playing in Texas anymore. I say no thanks. We are passing Iowa and that is because we are in the Big 12 and they are in the Big 10.
They may want to make a move, but unless they go all the way to the east coast or go with non-BCS teams, there is no one to join the Pac12 right now. There is no reason why all major conferences have to have the same number of teams. No time in history has that been the case, so no reason to think that it will be now.
I'm not a 247 subscriber, but it looks like their Maryland Publisher has a story that the B10 is projecting 40 mil/yr tv revenues for Maryland/Rutgers...
Jeff Ermann @insidemdsports How many reasons does Maryland have to go to the Big 10? I'm told it could be in the neighborhood of 40 million. http://maryland.247sports.com/Board/67/Im-told-14072547/1 …

Looks like Yahoo has jumped on now

They may want OU and Texas, but they won't get them. GOR is rock solid. No team from Big 12 is going anywhere. That is why you never hear anything about any Big 12 teams in any expansion rumors from anyone unless you go to Tigerboard.
The Big 12? No thanks on Cincy. If we add four, which I don't think we will, I would hope it would be FSU, Clemson, Louisville and BYU.
I'm neutral in terms of expanding but I think FSU and Clemson would be excellent adds to the conference.
I like those additions as an Iowa fan. Both will add revenue while not being someone that I'm afraid that Iowa will lose to every year. Not to mention that Iowa likes to recruit those two areas so them being in the same conference would help.
Louis and Cincy absolutely will be a net negative on revenue per school. FACT.
