Big Ten????

I have to think the B10 will make another push for Notre Dame. It is kind of obligatory for the B10 to offer ND a spot every 10 years or so.

My prediction is Rutgers.

They are a decent football program, ranked extremely high academically and are located in the biggest media market in the country (NY). The BTN would love to have a team in the NY-NJ area for ad revenue alone.

Plus, they have enrollment of 50,000 + and could compete in all sports.

And equally perfunctory for Notre Dame to decline.

Doesn't make much sense for ND to go into the Big Ten at least not football wise. They make too much money from their TV contract to be lumped into the Big 10 TV contract. The name that could happen would be Rutgers. They meet academic requirements and would get the Big 10 into the New York market which would be huge for the conference.

ndsu academics arent good enough for the big ten school

Says the guy from Daloot who doesn't use proper grammar, capitalization, or punctuation. I am impressed that you used the word "academics" in a sentence (sort of).

notre dame wont go, theyre already big east for everything else

As long as Norte Dame has their own TV contract they won't go. My guess is Syracuse, that would be bring NY into their TV market and add a major basketball power.

I know, I'm saying that Iowa State, if they wanted to be a candidate, would be the weakest link due to their minimum requirements. And Iowa State is actually being floated around as a possible 12th member, but that idea isn't being recieved very well.

I don't see why ISU would want to make that move. They are in the Big 12 which is equal if not a better conference than the big 10. The only reason I could think of is they wouldn't have to travel as far. In my opinion, ISU would be stupid to make that move.

Rutgers, Rutgers, Rutgers. Would give the Big 10 a chance to own the nation's largest TV market.

Pittsburgh-brings nothing to the table, Penn State already owns that market

Missouri--Not exaclty Big Ten Coutny

Notre Dame--Not giving up their TV Contract and BCS Special Treatment

Nebraska--Just not happening either

I think Syracuse is the front runner followed by Rutgers in a close second.
