Does not the Big 12 own the Big 16 logo?

The money is what drives the expansion.

We are not talking about "other" schools. We are talking about Nebraska and ND. and from all accounts both have invites to join the Big 10.

You can bring in all the other schools you want. I'm only reffering to Nebraska and ND.

No, you are only talking about Nebraska and ND. I started by referring to Iowa State in a thread about Iowa State. I continued to talk about expansion as it applies to the whole college athletic landscape not just one or two teams, as several accounts have Big Ten invites to more than just the teams you mention. Why do you think there is a belief the Big East is as dead as the Big 12?

If you want to continue arguing with yourself and setting the framework to fit your personal analysis of the argument, go ahead.

PLEASE SHOW ME THESE OTHER INVITES> PLEASE SHOW ME. Beliefs are one thing, acuality another.

In the end, It all boils down to athletics.

Do you really believe that if ISU had the same athletic success in football that both Nebraska and ND have had in the past 100 years that we would even have this conversation? The framework pretty much speaks for itself in this case.

Do you have any other non factual "beliefs" that you want to bring up?

The Nebraska and Notre Dame invites are still "beliefs". Provide me the press release from the Big Ten offices in Chicago saying differently. A Nebraska invite to the Big Ten is NOT fact, yet.

Otherwise, I repeat my last statement:

Still waiting for this.

Do a google search about the Big Ten ND and Nebraska then tell us all that an invite is only a belief. YET
