husker_99 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The Big 12 is really limited on schools to take in. They would be mostly mid-majors or teams from the east if the Big East folds but even then they probably don't want a couple that far away from the rest of the other teams. There is no way they would try to recreate the SWC league. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This may be the window that everyone is looking for in regards to Notre Dame. The Big East now has 6 football schools in the conference. The others will be looking to bail. I saw that even some of the non football school may be looking to move. If that happens ND may be looking for a landing sport for their other programs and it may be leverage for them to hold out on their independence for football. Gossip says the Big12 wil take us as a nonfootball member if the BigEast collapses. So in either scenario, we'll be seeing TCU cheerleaders in our basketball stadium. I dunno, Joe. CW says that if the Big East collapses, Notre Dame will bite the bullet and saddle up with the Big 10. Between the hockey affiliation (which hasn't been sorted out yet IIRC) and the NBC contract ending in 2014, now is as good a time as any to fully join a conference with little to no conflict. Plus, since we lost Kansas, Nebraska fans have been looking for an annual migration game location. Quote Link to comment
