what i never understood
what i never understood
is why Conference USA didn't jump into the mix and throw 2-3 to the Big East and take 2-3 from the Big 12. it's a mid-major with no real noise. put ECU in the Big East and take Iowa St, etc.

which is why i hope the odds are even greater than you list. My nightmare scenario is NB but then Rutgers, Syracuse and Maryland, as some paper reported yesterday.

The CIC boost that
The CIC boost that
The CIC boost that accompanies the Big 10, plus likely equal or great money from BTN seems to me like an obvious choice. The fact that legislators want to step into this whole process probably throws a twist in things though, and the fact that Texas is a control freak probably makes the Pac10 more likely.

Colorado to the Pac-10 is interesting b/c it was being reported that the Texas legislature was trying to strong arm the Pac-10 into taking Baylor over Colorado. Looks like the Pac-10 wasn't going to let them bully them.

I wonder if Colorado will still play Nebraska on Thanksgiving weekend. I have always enjoyed that game for some reason.

If you can't get into college go to State.

Okla v Nebraska
Okla v Nebraska
Don't know about CO v NE, but I would not be surprised to see the OK v NE back on the schedule every year. It was killed by TX and B12, but it could easily be revived and would be a ratings bonanza for both of those teams new conferences.

I think UConn is a much more attractive option in the NYC market than Rutgers. I don't know why their name has been dropped from the discussion recently

To this move. I want good academic schools as well, but all that matters is how good you look in football.

Rumor: Big Ten to invite ND, Texas, Texas A&M, and Mizzou
Rumor: Big Ten to invite ND, Texas, Texas A&M, and Mizzou
I've heard from some people that this guy actually has a legitimate connection to the Big Ten office and that he almost always brings in true information. Of course, that could all be BS, but I figured I'd just put it out there anyways.
At any rate, if this is true, then let the Big Ten-Pac 10 battle for Texas commence.

The good news
The good news
The good news with the Buffs leaving means that the Pac 10 or Texas and A&M said screw the Texas State Legislature and said we are going forward without Baylor. This could help the Big Ten in pulling Texas as now it appears that they will not be controled by politics and be brought down by others religious beliefs or terrible academics (Tech).
Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through

Pushing up the timetable
Pushing up the timetable
Pushing up the timetable could also mean they're confident Texas is coming and they took Colorado to send the message that they don't want Baylor.

Why would you lose the rivalry with CSU? It's a nonconference game already.
