Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[Nicknam4]

What if...it came down to 4 major conferences with 16 teams each...just wondering...what 4 additional teams would the PAC16 take?

They could take Boise State and Idaho.

Does anyone else hope that in the first game that Ped State plays against Maryland and Rutgers that there are horrible calls by the refs that give the games to the new guys?

I wasn't before, but I sure am now.

To be fair I hope this happens during every PSU Big Ten game

Loh again, "Somebody has to pay the bills!!!" at a reporter. Practically shouting each word after a 'tradition' question.

Swofford informed at noon today after the vote, basically after everyone with an Internet connection or smart phone already knew.

Can we also make it so that those game would be non-conference games for our newly announced Big Ten brethren?????

Did he ask for his $77 back?

Big 10 sure took a step up in the Lacrosse world with Maryland in the fold.. same for soccer

I WANT UVA AND UNC NOW!

 

[Dryden]

Delany admits that three years ago B1G tried to be transparent and announce expansion plan, which started six months of baseless speculation and dysfunction. Admitted it was upsetting for many students & alum at other universities that were never seriously in discussions with B1G.

Also mentioned the B1G was at 11 members for 20 years and there is nothing good about '11' unless you like prime numbers.

Now 13 members. For today.

I missed the presser. Any truth to the rumor that the MD Pres came out to this entrance music?

Welcome to the conference, although I was hoping this would be a trade, it doesn't hurt to add another punching bag to this UM/OSU biased conference.

Welcome to the Conference!

Hopefully you guys can bring some of your ACC refs over with you...we need help!

I think we may be going to video replay on "sideline interference" calls in 2013...

Yep, Joe definitely smiling today. Too bad the other Big East Reply
schools didn't listen to him 25 years ago or we'd have a stable conference of Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Boston College, UConn, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami, Temple, and some of Maryland, Virginia, and Notre Dame.

To Maryland and RU: Welcome to the WWE conference.... Reply
...of college football.

Fortunately for you guys, being forced by the puppet masters to lose a certain few games a year won't be much different than what you're used to -- so the transition shouldn't be too bad. For the sake of your sanity, I hope you think the extra $$$ your school will get is worth it.

And so many other BWI gems to choose from.
