Don't know if this has already been posted but thought I would share. Personally I won't believe it til I see it.

I don't see it happening this fast.

I think it's 2011 at the earliest before the Big Ten adds another school to the conference.

If PSU has anything to say about this, it won't happen.

But I don't know if this is a simple majority vote, or what is required to add a school to the conference.

why would psu be against it? I am all for it.

I dont buy it.

However if Pitt did join the league..not sure how they would divide up the league...I dont think geography will be the most important thing...I think that Ohio State and Michigan would be in the same division, because the last thing they would want is to play each other the last week of the regular season then meet again in the Big Ten title game...Can't probably have PSU in that same division, however....

DIVISION A

Michigan
Ohio State
Michigan State
Purdue
Indiana
Northwestern

DIVISION B

Iowa
PSU
Pitt
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Illinois

You'd play all five teams in your division...then three teams from the other division in a home and home, then after two years, do the same with the other three.

Pitt is a member of the Association of American Universities. The Big10 is the only conference that has ALL of its current members as part of this organization.
