    Big 10 stops at 12 if...........

    Notre Dame will commit. Just heard it on Galloway and Company 103.3 ESPN DFW. Notre Dame and Big 10 are in "serious" discussions and 1 stipulation would be the conference expansion ends if ND commits.

    If ND declines....2 from the Big 12 and 3 from the Big East will be headed to the Big 10. Pac 10 would then add 6. SEC adds 4 and BE and ACC would form 16 team conference.

    PAC 10 will most likely expand no matter what happens with the Big 10. PAC 10 is developing a conference network with Fox sports just like the Big 10 did.

    Boise State no invite really did signal allot of things are still to be determined.

    At least ESPN 103.3 has one listener.

    If the SEC is adding 4....I seriously doubt the PAC 10 is going to get the 6 they are after.

    I don't think Texas will go East. They will stay put or go West.

    Texas is not going east. They do not like the academics of the SEC.

    I forgot to add that if Big 10 stops at 12, SEC and ACC don't expand otherwords.

    Only forcasted expansion then would be Big East and possibly PAC 10.

    If ND goes Big 11, then things settle down...a lot!

    It could look like this...sorta:

    No expansion for the SEC, ACC, & Big 12. Pac 12 picks up Utah & Colorado. Big 12 asks Arkansas and takes BYU. Big East picks up Memphis, ECU, UCF, & Temple to get to 12 and solidify their AQ standing. MWC takes Boise and Nevada (maybe Fresno & Hawaii, but probably not) and does not get AQ status. MAC adds Marshall. CUSA adds Tech, MTSU, WKU, and Troy. Sunbelt and WAC merge (I actually kind of feel sorry for Hawaii and Fresno).

    Everybody breathes easier....until the next time in 6-8 years... (diabolical laugh goes here!)



    Of course this is an uneducated guess. Any correlation to reality is purely accidental.


    This is not my ideal setup, but I will take it. I think the nuclear option would work out best for Tech with a possible pairing with the CUSA West schools, Big 12 leftovers, and an AQ bid is obviously perferrable. But this would work and give us time to become the "IT" school for the next round of realignments.

    And Armageddon is avoided and the Mayan Calendar still waits for 2012. This might be the best thing for TECH. It gives us a few years in CUSA to get to a position where we might get looked at for AQ.

    While I was updating mine, you posted this. If we can get in the CUSA this time around, then we buy time to implement our long-term program for the next go-around. Next to worse case is being stuck in the WAC without Boise. But at least that would allow us to be the next Boise and start grabbing the headlines.

    Re: Big 10 stops at 12 if...........

    The latest on this scenario.

    Notre Dame, Big Ten 'are very much in deliberations'

    Posted by John Taylor on June 7, 2010 9:06 PM ET
    If there is one school that could possibly -- possibly -- put a halt to a conference apocalypse at the ready to change the collegiate football landscape for evermore, it's Notre Dame.

    And, yes, I can hear it now. "Notre Dame hasn't been relevant for 20 years!!! What do they have to do with anything???" That sentiment is understood, but hear me out for just a coupla minutes.

    If Notre Dame were to accept an offer from the Big Ten -- and, make no mistake, the Irish are still the apple of the Big Ten's eye. Right below Texas -- it's conceivable that the conference would stop at that and not pilfer other leagues. The Irish and their flung-far-and-wide fan base would give them a national television footprint for their television network that no other school/schools could come close to matching.

    If that were to happen, the Pac-10 might -- might -- stand down from their six-school plundering of the Big 12. Maybe they'd look to add a Colorado and a Utah, but nothing as earth-shattering as the option of imploding one of the six BcS conferences that's currently on commissioner Larry Scott's to-do list.

    With the Irish finally in the Big Ten's clutches, it could, basically, be status quo for all of the other "major" conferences, with the exception of a tweaked Pac-10 and a Big 12 featuring a replacement for Colorado.

    No implosion of the Big 12, Big East, nothing. Again, just a couple of tweaks. Maybe.

    With that as a backdrop, Pete Thamel of the New York Times dropped an interesting nugget on his Twitter feed this evening.

    According to Thamel, and based on a conversation with an unnamed BcS athletic director, "Notre Dame and the Big Ten are very much in deliberations."

    And so it begins anew. The Golden Domers and their Midwest brothers-from-a-different-mother continuing a flirtation that's gone on for decades.

    Nebraska the linchpin as far as conference expansion is concerned? Please. Very likely, it will once again come down to the Big Ten's utter infatuation with the school in South Bend.

    And, finally, a consummation.

    Those hoping for minimal change in the structure of college football had better pray for Notre Dame to lay down and get biblical with the Big Ten. And soon, with a "loyalty deadline" for the corn shuckers looming.

    UPDATE 9:38 p.m. ET: Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick has told Thamel that the talk of his school being "very much in deliberations" with the Big Ten "are just not true."

    Even if the Big 10 stops at ND -

    Texas is going somewhere or doing something - they are not going to be satisfied with $10 to $12 million when they KNOW they can get $20 million plus annually

    And I have seen other stories that dispute this allegation.


    I don't know if Texas stays or goes. This has certainly opened their eyes as to their desirability (as if they did not already know...). I suspect that they could stay if they sign their own mega-whopper TV deal that provides them $30-40 million (or more) a year in revenues.

    I think we are getting the 'Cell-Phone' video reports in the middle of a disaster. You know how you watch the news and the channels will report on anything they can get during these things not knowing how solid they are. I do wonder if the Notre Dame agreement will truly stop there, put it on hold, or more.

    If it does stop or put a hold, I wonder if we will see the Big East will try to make a move to shore up its standing. No one reporting much on that conference right now when prior to this summer everyone thought that was where the next big move would happen.
