I always thought that if the B1G was going to expand that they might target stronger basketball schools. Louisville, Kansas, K-State, UConn. There is not much left for football. The ACC has poached the Big East so much that it is basically the Big East. Sports Illustrated had a good article on this topic this morning. The founder of Under Armor just sold a bunch of stock rumored to be in the vicinity of the same price as the ACC buyout. Also, Rutgers games get shown on the YES network which is owned in part by NewsCorp which has a stake in the BTN.
If this comes to truth, all I ask is that the divisions get aligned in a way that gets us versus Wisconsin every year. Maybe move MSU to the Leaders and keep Michigan in the Legends along with Illinois. That would be good with me.
I say bring on any team that is looking to move if they are Ina big TV market. It will only help recruiting.
Legends:
Illinois
Iowa
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
Northwestern
Wisconsin
Leaders:
Indiana
Maryland
Michigan State
Purdue
Penn State
Ohio State
Rutgers
I like this, but I might be the only one
