I am still taking a wait-and-see approach with this all, but man it sure is interesting. I don't necessarily like a 16 team conference, but $$ rules the day.

Ugh. I really hope not. This would be not good at all.
If true, IMO this would be one of the worst expansion scenarios we've seen. 3 of those teams (and remember I'm talking about football since that is really all this matters regarding expansion) are mired in mediocrity with no real signs of escaping. The fourth, ND, is also mediocre, but with obvious brand equity and the chance with a new coach to become good again. Much better than the other three IMO? Nebraska, Missouri, UT (of course) A&M, Pitt, Colorado, even (yes I said it) WVA. Either better football programs, more prestige and name value, or both.

The Big 10 network runs all year long,
I would rather see Kansas, Missouri, Syracuse/Pitt join, basketball is big too! Then wink at Notre Dame!
best part of the movie 300.... 300 spartans die!!!
While you're technically correct,
you are also incorrect. Without football, there would not even be a discussion about expansion. And there would be no B10 network either. There is only one sport that commands ratings and makes big money, and that is football. It is really the only sport that matters in these discussions.
"Everyone gets dumped Gabe. Let me give you some advice: a little coverup on your Adams Apple will make it appear smaller. Which will make you appear less like a transvestite."
Football may be driving
expansion, but practically, there are 3 seasons of sports for 9 months of the year, and a conference like the Big 10 is still more profitable than and at least as powerful as the SEC (currently a better football conference) in part because it doesn't suck in basketball (like the SEC).
Football is the clear lynchpin, but basketball and other sports play a complementary role.
In any event, success is cyclical (see, e.g., the University of Michigan). I wouldn't bet that Missouri football will necessarily be better than Syracuse or Maryland in 5 years.
Just imagine the varsity LAX
Just imagine the varsity LAX team in Michigan's future though! It would have immediate clout with a schedule including those teams.
Still, I hate it. The thought of Rutgers makes me want to puke almost as much as watching someone else blow chunks.

I can pretty much guarantee
that report is false. Why? Because Charlie Sheen is my avatar. That's why.
I said - not good enough.
If this is true...
...and I'm not yet convinced, I laugh at ND and their independence. The Fighting Irish earned it this time.

Might I suggest...
Delaware State?
Reasons:
1. They're in Delaware.
2. Great bans - just ask them!
3. Similar academics to majority of ACC
4. Available
5. Used to getting their asses handed to them every time they play.
Perfect!

Hate to break it to you
But if you line up the schools in the ACC and the Big Ten, the ACC will be higher ranked in 1-9. 10 is tied. The Big Ten wins spot 11. And FSU? Well... the ACC doesn't acknowledge them when it comes to academics.
