Of the schools listed for me this is the order of choice for me
1. Pittsburgh
2. Cincinnati
3. Louisville
4. Rutgers
5. Missouri
6. Syracuse


Really don't care just want to see them get another school and then set up a Big Ten Championship game.

Yeah Rutgers would be pointless. As others have already said people in NY could care less about college football. (i.e. the new market argument is defeated)

I think Big 10 could raid the Big 12 North and get Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. None of those schools really have huge allegiance to the Big 12; in fact, they might even be a little disgruntled because the SWC basically f'd over all of the Big 8 schools, especially those in the North.

ND is not going to join.
Pitt would be good, but I worry that they are not going to add much.
Louisville - no.
Syracuse - no.
Rutgers - no.

Look, the Big 10 is basically a bunch of bottom-feeders right now, so why add more like Syracuse and Rutgers? They would get crushed more than they already do. We only add the very good to great teams if we add any at all.

Notre Dame is NOT going to join any conference.

They can make too much money doing what they do.

Help me out with this equation:

$15 million < $19.27 million

I am posting what I heard on 97.1 yesterday.

Their AD said the chances of them moving to a conference are pretty slim because of the contract they have with NBC.

It was also said yesterday that if NBC would ever drop them, ESPN would pay them double of what they are getting now.

The Big 10 (11) should drop NW before they add anybody new.

Northwestern also competes well in the non-revenue sports from what I've heard. They did win a national title in something either this year or last.
