Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

ND may come crawling... I don't think the B1G will turn them away...

I like to think it'll go down something like this.......

In a perfect world there would be 8 10 team conferences and an 8 team playoff for the title, but that will never happen. With a 16 team conference I think the best you can do is have 4 pods so you play the same 3 teams every year, 4 teams from another rotating pod and 1 rivalry game. At least that way you do get to play every other school at least every 3 years rather than the same 7 teams every year and 2 schools from the other division.

And if your rivalry game is a "traditional crappy team" you have a distinct schedule advantage.

And if crappy equates to shitty well we have TSUN.....so all bases are covered...

Now that additions look to be a done deal I think we need a thread for a new B1G division breakdown. Hopefully this will be the end for the stupid Leaders and Legends names.

It it does come down to the B1G, the SEC, the Big12, and the Pac being the only conferences at the table for the NC I don't think ND will have a choice but to join the B1G.

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

So it's all good for tOSU. :p

There aren't really any for them to take, geographically. It's almost as if they have to partner with the BigXII and say, OK, you give us A, B, C and D after you grab, W, X, Y and Z.

Come on man - I finally figured out who was in each.

I have no idea. It worked better when it looked like the Big12 was the one that was going to die. Texas and the 2 schools in OK work a lot better than anyone in the ACC. I'm sure the Pac 12 wouldn't want anyone that I would try to give them.

Fresno State, San Diego State, Nevada, and New Mexico, of course.

I like that idea, but then the Big12 ends up as the ACC and Texas. Too bad Texas was too dumb to jump to the Pac a few years ago and ended up fucking everything up.

And who wouldn't want to spend a night in February in Lincoln instead of Chapel Hill?

Me. Stinkin' Lincoln, that's what I say.

I just hope these n00bs don't come in to our conference expecting stuff to be handed to them on a silver platter.



Damn, it feels good not to be the new kids on the block anymore. Nebraska's an old-school Big Ten member now, eh chums? Eh?

You guys are too nice to hate. You're kinda the B1G's version of Canada.
