I am surprised Pac 12 is not going after Rutgers if academics is needed out West.
Vanderbilt is the smartest academic SEC team and plays football like the BIG. I think they would be a good fit. Then SEC could go get a real football team. BIG might want to absorb Tulane also.
Its the old adage remade: if a commercial is showed on tv and no one is around to see it, is it really aired?Quote:

If there is anything to this, it may have more to do with basketball.
I'm sure it's just about expanding their "contiguous footprint" more than anything...
They're just pinging those hippies in Lawrence cause they don't really believe in all that money stuff. I honestly think they may just be probing the B12 to see how strong it is. Delaney may be interested in a lot more than the B1G -- and destabilizing the B12 would help him a lot.
Yea...the guy at MD also talked to his brother friend's sister, who knows a guy that talked to a volleyball assistent connected to the Kansas program who also confirmed it...so its def happeningQuote:

Plus even if the 4 big conferences are the powers, they will not have exclusive access to the playoffs. It will be harder for a team outside of those conf to play in playoffs, but one of them is in the NC game this year.
The big 4 also will not break away from NCAA and form their own division. I laugh every time I see someone make that statement. They look at this as a football only issue and the schools consider all sports even though football drives the bus.
Some people don't understand GOR.Quote:

Or are you saying that Kansas is likely to be the next school poached by the Big 10? If so, when?
We need to know so that we can assess your claim about putting things out there that "come true."
What he put out there is exactly what he said. Kansas and Va Tech were the next targets of the Big 10 with Kansas being more likely. Not sure why that post by a reputable poster got your panties in a bunch.Quote:
