JoePa continues to want an Eastern rival almost as much as another tapioca, insults ND in the process.
"They've had their chance"
Indeed they have, sir.
UPDATE--- D'oh. Retracted.

Suck it long and suck it hard.
if all negativity were erased from any choice for 12th member, Notre Dame would be the number one choice, does anyone dispute this? I mean, by far. So we are up against it, the school we want most, the perfect fit, really, has shunned us. Any other choice would have issues. Personally, I don't want just any school as the 12th institution. It has to be a school that at least maintains the academic integrity as well as the athletic prowess of the conference. We don't want a one trick pony.
So...we will probably wait for Notre Dame and remain the Big Ten/Eleven unless something dramatic happens.
