I know this is a childish, irrational emotion, but ---

 

I hate the BIG 10!!!!!!

 

Man I hope I don't have to start watching Big 10 teams for our conference schedule... Minnesota. Iowa. Michigan State. Boredom University.

[fro daddy]

this was tweeted today by Tom Dienhart who is a national writer for CFB on the Rivals/Yahoo network

 

"Big Ten expansion buzz has league adding Mizzou, Nebraska, Pitt, Rutgers and Syracuse and splitting into four, four-team divisions"

 

Then followed with "The Big Ten divisions: Syra, Pitt, Rut., Penn St.--Mich., Wisc., Mich. St., Mnn.--Ohio St., Pur., IU, Ill./North.--MU, Iowa, Neb., Ill./NU"

 

Ill. is listed twice and Northwestern is left off, so i think he made a mistake with the "ill/north", probably supposed to be "Ill./NU"

 

But this division split makes the most sence to me. I was talking with a friend about this yesterday when I mentioned this. You would play the 3 teams in your group and 2 from every other. 9 conference games. Switch the teams every other year so that you play every team in the league within a 2 year period

Example 2012 NE schedule. Would include 3 games against MU,IA, and ILL. Syra, Pitt, Mich, Wisc, OSU & Pur

2013 NE schedule would include 3 games against MU,IA, and ILL. Rut, PSU, Mich ST., MInn, IU & NU

2014 NE schedule would be the same as 2012 only fliping the home/away with the 3 sets of secondary divisions.

 

I have said this before, I think expansion is more likely to happen than not. And I fully believe that if MU gets the call they take it. I am almost as possitive that NE will be coming along also.

This might be a minor quibble, but it's worth pointing out. If the B10 adds Missouri and Nebraska, clearly Nebraska is the crown jewel in that "get," and Missouri would "come along also."

 

Nebraska brings a LOT of revenue and national prestige to the table. That's what this is all about.

[LouisianaHuskerFan]

Thanks for the link. I, for one, would love to go to the Big Ten. All of our games would be on TV and we would get more national exposure.

And a last place finish in Basketball and baseball

 

And I believe Rutgers is the come along also.

Ever hear that old story about the wound and salt?

 

Rutgers is being considered just for the NYC market, fwiw.

[junior4949]

Who cares about who brings who along? As long as Nebraska gets on TV more, I'm all for it.
