A) why is Dave at this type of meeting?
B) if he his why does he have a green light to share it publicly?
Sorry not buying it, until it is actually done.
But man do I want this to happen, living in Chicago ISU would be so much easier to see and travel with!
If this happens..... ISU makes so much sense in almost every aspect (other than the most important aspect $$)
Land grant university, high academic standards, Midwest footprint....a total fit
It would be a big big deal

Playing in a Big Ten West with Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Illinois in our division is so perfect for us that, as an Iowa State fan, I know it simply can never happen.
In my opinion, if college football keeps going away from regional rivalries, the money will be less for everyone in the long run. Keeping conferences regional keeps more fans interested in the sport which keeps the money coming long term. Does Iowa or Nebraska playing Rutgers or Maryland actually interest anyone?Everyone is still crapping on ISU for not bringing more money to the table.
Will we bring as much as Notre Dame? Never.
Do we bring rabid fans who will pay for the B1G network, of Fox Sports, and anything else they try to sell us? Absolutely.
And with ESPN trying to corner the football market with their bloated SEC contract, FOX absolutely NEEDS content to compete. They have to have games to put on TV that people will watch. They might be thinking they need games in a larger VOLUME to bring in as much money as the SEC will, or close. That hopefully points to expansion with teams with good fanbases.

Until someone spills the beans on a radio show....Obviously, I think we all want to hear this rather than the “they add no value” chatter but I’m not really sure this has any more merit or truth to it than the rest of the speculation spewed on Twitter at this point.
Even if it did have some truth, I think those talks will remain quiet and behind closed doors until legalities have been worked out and settlements (in terms of payouts from Texas and Oklahoma) have been reached.
Yeah the whole doesn't add value thing is so dumb and shortsighted. There are probably under 20 brands that "add value".This doesn't get talked about enough. The PAC NEEDS the central time zone, it's the only way they can even begin to close the gap. The whole "doesn't add value" blanket assumption is so freaking lazy.
Oh, sweet Jesus…..None of us know if this is true or not, but I think we should wait for some of our connected big 10 posters to weigh in
