Four-Star Recruit
Did anyone else see this on ESPN's College Football Preview show last week? So I'm maybe the last one in the world to watch it, but I bow down to my tivo. Evidently the commissioner of the conference has indicated they will expand from the current 11 to 12 teams very soon (and this morning I heard he had back-peddled some), and the talking heads on ESPN were asked by Rece Davis to throw out their top picks. Can't remember who said it - May :asshat , Herbstreit (bigger :asshat ), or another panelist - but their statement was that the Big 10 was going to do an ACC/Big East type raid on the Big XII and the likely candidates were ISU and CU. The argument for ISU was one of location and they already play Iowa every year. The argument for CU jumping didn't make any sense.
Can you imagine the fan base reaction if your team were to jump from what is now a relatively weak Big XII North where you are foundering already to the "let's knock each other off" Big 10? Notre Dame is the no-brainer to make it 12 there, but they will NEVER give up their "special" status in the college football world. I would think that N. Illinois, Bowling Green, or even Frank's new team - Ohio would make better choices than raiding another BCS conference.
