Word is that Penn St. doesnt want it. But they are being mentioned.
In regards to Rutgers, 40,000 people is not an impact. But i see where your going with the media market and population size. But rutgers sucks at so many things. Other than the fact they are located in Jersey and a good school, they add nothing.

sometime you have to be careful what you wish for. you could end up with colorado st or something. MU might not be nebraska's favorite school, but they do bring the second largest population to bat (TV contracts and ad revenue) they are pretty good at a number of sports & have a pretty large fan following (best attendence outside of the top 4, tx,ok,ne&atm) All that means more money and respect for the conference. the big 12 is one of the worst set ups and deals for the major confernces. YOu will most likely not get another big school to flip and you are left raiding the MTN WEST.

amen to that. Like i told a friend, I wouldnt want MU to leave the big 8, but this current set up is far from the big 8

After listening to unsportsmanlike conduct the last couple of days (not the entire show) and hearing guests and so-called experts, I really think Missouri, Notre Dame and Pitt make the most sense and will be the top 3 targets of the Big 10. They have Notre Dame before and ND is just fine being an independent. Right now, they control all, and it is a good situation for them.
MU would be a good fit in the Big 10, but I don't want to see them go. I like the "competitive" so-called "rivalry" we got goin on. We still dominate the football (tradition), they dominate the basketball, wrestling is pretty much even and baseball is NU with pretty good teams from MU.
*** Hypothetically, if MU bolts (which wont happen IMO), who does the Big 12 get. Possibly TCU in the South and move OSU to the North? Or do they go after Arkansas......who has always wanted in the big 12 and for location purposes makes a TON of sense !!!! I don't see a "new" north school comin in.

Well, Creighton will probably bring back their football team. Then who will I root for? :ahhhhhhhh

Geographically, there's not a lot of options in the North. We'd almost have to bring in a south school, and then shuffle one of the South division schools up here. I would love for that to be Oklahoma, but Texas would never go for that. OU probably wouldn't, either.
Losing Missouri would suck, and I would be pretty unhappy about it.
I like the idea of kicking Baylor out. No disrespect to a fine school, but their academic standards make it REALLY difficult for them to compete.

Well, they did beat *ahem* Mizzou this year. I honestly think they might be competitive in football in the next few years. I'm anxious to see what Briles does, he seems to be bringing improvement. And if they can beat Mizzou without Griffin, imagine who they can beat next year with him! :box

If MU's fan base is so great, why do they keep getting passed up for bowl bids by teams like ISU?
You know, I keep hearing this talk year in and year out. Yet I'm still waiting. <_<

What are Baylor's academic standards? Baylor isn't that good of a school, it's just expensive and Baptist. I don't think academics has anything to do with why they field poor teams year in and year out.

If Missouri goes to the Big 10, then who would we be looking at to replace them? TCU? That would push OSU into the Northern Division...We need CU to go to the WAC so we could bring OU up to the North also....by Maybe taking in Houston or Arkansas.
None of this is going to matter, because Missouri isn't going anywhere...just thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth...since we are all dealing with fantasy here.

please dont get my hopes up.
No one cares at Baylor. People graduate, move to Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and other places and aren't going to drive 150 miles or more to see a train wreck. Heck, most of the kids who go there grew up UT or Aggie fans and are more fans of the religion than anything else. Nothing great happens (conference championship, a win over a big-time program) while they are students there to convert them into hard core Bear fans. The stadium is always half empty, which can't help recruiting. Robert Griffin wouldn't be there if the track program wasn't famous for turning out 400 meter guys.
