Big Ten Expansion

If those 4 join it will make 15, they still should go after Pitt or Syracuse. Or maybe the U of Chicago will reactivate its athletic program.

What's to become of KU? Mountain West Conference? Missouri Valley?

If I'm reading correctly, they only go above 3 (total 14) if ND accepts, then they would offer another school to make it even.

This is an interesting view. Here, the Big 12 stays and takes on the Mountain West conference top dogs. Seems a little bit of a reach that UT stays in a conference with BYU and Tulsa, but who knows.

Yup, that's what I'd expect. IF Notre Dame accepts, then the Big 10 invites Kansas or UConn too.
If Notre Dame doesn't accept, then they are good at 14.

Who cares.

I really, really hope Notre Dame joins the Big 10. Love the thought of getting $10 tickets in Champaign which is 35 miles from my house.

The link said if ND turned them down, they'd re-evaluate whether or not to invite 2 more.

I hope that the Big 10 gives ND the middle finger and leaves them lying in their emptiness or the service academy and USC schedule. But alas, that is probably not happening.

I love the ND fan. I asked a south side Chicago guy about joining the Big Ten, and he went on about how playing Purdue, MSU, Indiana and all the Big 10 teams didn't excite him. Really? Check out half your schedule then.

That guy is a buffoon. Or probably just one of those people with red hair and an O and an apostrophe in his name who assumes that he HAS to like Notre Dame. [expletive], ND might as well be part of the Big Ten already. Michigan, Michigan St., and Purdue are all annual games. Penn St. has been on their schedule in recent years, too.
