Interesting.

Teams will be playing 10 game conference seasons because of the size of the conferences and there will be no interesting non-conference games. Jim, while the Big East doesn't do much for me in football, I really don't want to see it broken up for basketball.

To me, it just seems like one or two schools made some comments about moving conferences and now everyone is overreacting and covering their butts in case they lose a bunch of members. Leave it like it is, there's nothing wrong with the conferences right now!

The 2 division winners likely meet for the conference championship. The Big Ten will expand without a doubt. They will want to strengthen the east coast as a recruiting area and more importantly add heavily populated areas for the Big Ten TV Network. They are going east. Syracuse and Rutgers are almost slam dunks in my opinion. Notre Dame is probably the next most likely because of their national appeal. I don't know if they will push to 16 right away or wait and see before adding 2 more teams.

That'd seem like the Yankees joining the AL Central, in my world.
Growing up, the Big Ten always seemed notches below the Nebraskas and Oklahomas of the world.
Maybe that was skewed by being a Gopher fan, tho.

Status: offline 		Ohio State and Michigan were just as dominant during those years. The Gopher beat writer from the PP was on KFAN yesterday. From what he said it sounds like the Big Ten's first choice was to have just Notre Dame join the conference. It sounds like they won't join if the Big Ten adds more teams to make a super conference. ND likes the independent status and being able to book big name schools on it's schedule. That will become harder for them if this Pac 10 super conference with Texas happens, so they might ultimately have to join a conference.

The Big 10 pays more of the money to schools then any other conference

Watch what happens when Nebraska plays in our stadium.
We'll be known as North Lincoln.
Best investment the next couple years may be a gas station between Nebraska and the other Big 16 schools.
They travel well. Very well. We are light-years behind that program in EVERY aspect.

Not only do they travel well, but they already are at Sensors in Bloomington Sat afternoons

With Nebraska joining it drops Gophers down another tier

Just watched the Big Ten preview for the upcoming FB season.
The Big Ten looks damn strong and we don't. Doesn't bode well.

Seemed like every preview was ... "return 18-20 starters off a team that won 10/11 games"
Ouuuuch.

Based on apparently trying to prove he has no idea what he's doing.

<optimism>
I don't think we'll suck.  Right now I think we are about as good as last years team, which did win 6 games......and we should be noticeably better toward the end of season.  One problem is that nearly all the teams we play this year are better than they were last year.  Still, I'm predicting 7 wins (including a minor bowl win).
