If out of the blue, the Big 10 extended ISU a invitation for membership tomorrow?

So, what would happen
- Thread starter snowcraig2.0
- Start date
You'd have to take the Big 10 offer. It's a stable conference that is going to be around for a long time, and with equal sharing of more money. The Big 12 has a stay of execution, but could face the Green Mile again in a few years.
You definitely say yes. I'm an Iowa guy, so I'm biased, but it makes the most sense. Texas is a cancer that WILL ruin the conference eventually. The Big Ten is the most stable conference out there, and you're guaranteed an equal share of revenue.
I had been somebody who wouldn't have minded ISU joining the Big Ten at all. I knew it wouldn't happen for the obvious reason that they don't deliver new TV revenue, but I would have had no problem with them joining.

I would press the button labeled "Accept Invitation."
Make no mistake, I'm glad in the short term that Big 12 found a way to stay glued together, even having to make concessions to do it. But think of it this way: What would the other nine schools do if one of them got a Big Ten invite out of the blue?

We're Iowa State so it would go something like this.
The year after we entered the Big 10 they would get rid of their current plan and the biggest schools would get the largest payout.
The day after we left, Notre Dame would go to the Big 12 and they would agree that there should be revenue sharing for all 10 teams.

If we were invited, JP would be doing cartwheels through Ames. He'd take it in a heartbeat......and that is exactly what he should do. He's not stupid, the stability of the Big10 is much better than the Big12 and the past 3 weeks more than proved that.
Must "spread rep around" but that's classic & exactly how I see it going down...you forgot that Iowa and Baylor would switch conferences straight up due to Notre Dame's wishes.
<Chandler> Mental note: If Jill Goodacre offers you gum, you take it. If she offers you mangled animal carcass, you take it.
<Chandler> You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection. [thinking]'Gum would be perfection'? 'Gum would be perfection.' Could have said, 'gum would be nice,' or, 'I'll have a stick,' but no-no-no-no-no. For me, gum is perfection. I loathe myself.
It would NEVER happen, but if it did, we'd be gone immediately and would gladly accept whatever it is we owe the Big 12 for leaving.
I think a tougher question would be if the Big East came calling and they had a TV deal already in place that would guarantee ISU to make 15 million a year? That, IMO, would be a tough call, but with the amount of money we'd have to pay for leaving, it probably wouldn't be worth it.
However, it sure would be nice to be in a conference without Texas. That is worth something right there.
