I could see a school like Syracuse going to the big 10.
Yep...this is the school they will go after! The Big East does offer a lot of perks with their basketball contract with ESPN...but I could see Syracuse being the target of the Big Ten.

Something interesting that I came across while I was browsing some wikis yesterday. The Big10 is as much of a academic/research conference as it is a sports conference like the Big12. The Big10 already has 12 members, but the "12th" member is academic-only (The University of Chicago).
Here's something else: Big10 bylaws state that members of the Big10 must be a member of the Association of American Universities. This is a rather exclusive club; ISU is a member, but K-State is not (other Big12 schools not in the AAU are Colorado, Oklahoma, Oki-St, Baylor, and Texas Tech). So, from the Big12 North, K-State could not join the Big10.
BTW, this AAU stipulation is what derailed Notre Dame from joining the Big10 a few years ago. Notre Dame is not a member of the AAU.

I would have used France as a comparison simply because they still think they are a powerThe Big 10 is like Spain. They were a power a few centuries ago, but they're irrelelvant now.
Who does the Big12 get "IF" they would steal Mizzou?
Flip OU to the North and go get TCU?
TCU is the fashionable pick right now, but I would really like for us to go after Arkansas, Memphis, Utah or even Louisville/ Cincy first.
I think TCU is too small for the Big 12 (about 9000 students with very limited graduate programs). I don't think they fit well academically. .
KState isnt very big I think their enrol is close to the same as UNI's. Their academics well are not the greatest.
KState's enrollment is 21,000. I would say thats a decent size bigger than UNI's.
