B1G Expansion and more Conference Realignment

[krc1995]

Notre Dame and Oklahoma would bring creditability. But Oklahoma is too far south.

[krc1995]

Maybe Iowa State? That was sarcasm

[Coqui]

Maryland I can see. They bring a good market, improve our basketball foothold, and increase academic standards.

Guys, guys ,guys(and Lady ).......

 

There are thousands of recruits in NJ, Maryland, Eastern PA and Northern Virginia that are just ripe for the picking now when you can look into Mama's eyes and let her know that you can see your kids play at home.

 

Maryland and Rutgers are both top tier Public Universities that get us into markets(and Minds) that the Big Ten couldn't get before. Rutgers is a NYC area school with connections to NYU, Columbia and Princeton. Now the Big Ten has a few ties to those schools but now we will have more.

 

NYC through the beltway is the most densely populated area in the Western Hemisphere I believe. I think only The Chinese Coast and Japan are more so.

 

 

Now Carolina, GIT and UVA would be the best options in the Eastern Time zone but those schools seem to be in it for the longhaul(ACC wise)

 

No one in NYC cares about college football. No one at NYU, Columbia, and Princeton care about sports.

Apperenlty it's more than a rumor:

Recruits who are in the current Rivals 250 who could potentially be in "Big Ten Country" by Monday

That doesn't even count Northern Virginia

[HuskerMav11]

Another team to dominate us in basketball...

Sooooo shortsighted.....

 

This isn't about Maryland and Rutgers. It's improving the lot of the 12 committed schools

 

This brings MONEY and Recruiting ground. Princeton isn't in the business of academics for nothing. They make MONEY.

For Nebraska, the geography of it sucks unless the BIG gets split into east and west divisions, then it would actually be better for us.

 

East

 

Mich

Mich St

Penn St

Rutgers

Maryland

OSU

Indiana

 

West

 

Nebraska

Minn

Wisky

Iowa

Northwestern

Purdue

Illinios

 

Then do whatever with the cross division stuff, but this alignment would be very favorable for the Huskers....if it happened.

 

If the SEC pushes on to 16 and the BIG follows, this would be the chance to try to get Kansas as one of the two remaining teams.

 

Also this makes the Big 12 that much weaker desperately trying to add on any scab they can.

 

The biggest winner if this happens is the new tv contract the BIG would get when they renegotiate. It will be record setting and then some adding the NY/NJ markets as well as the Baltimore/DC markets.

 

 

 

 

YES PLEASE. That is how it should have been in the first place(obviously without the new schools)

Agree!

[Husker66]

horrible idea. what does rutgers bring? maryland a very outside, but rutgers? seriously? is it april fools???...no....no way

[Dagerow]

I don't think anyone would disagree that adding to the 10 should be extremely selective. This is not selective. Only high profile additions should be considered.

[CheeseHusker]

Only if Maryland signs a contract pretending to never, ever wear those freakish uniforms again.

[Husker66]

on espn even rutgers fans think its a bad idea. one guy siad if you want the knicks and giants, fine, but you won't get any college football fans...there arent any

Great. We'll have Fortune 500 and Wall St. run the league while we watch sh*tty sports. Sounds terrific.

HSKR - Delaney would never go for that

Rutgers to legends, ugly oregon uni east to the leaders

 

Big xii could pick up UMass
