Omaha, sorry to confuse you. the article posed the Texas Question. The Big 10 already asked Notre Dame to join about ten years ago and, as I understand it, the deal was all but done until Notre Dame's students and alums got wind of it and threw a monumental hissy fit.
That leads me to conclude that the Big 10 is always thinking about changes... what if Northwestern left, what if Chicago wanted back in (that's thrown in just for the humor of it), what if Penn State wanted to be champions again and went back to the Big East where they could be?
One thing is for sure, the league can't afford to be static in its thinking even though they may seem to be static in public on such an issue.
