Never happening so your wet dream can end. If the Clones go to the Big 10 you will be on suicide watch. ISU will forever be in a power conference.
Doubtful, very doubtful.

Plan on some major lawsuits and government intervention for all these little schools in current power conferences who are at risk of being left behind. Conferences will not want to have that happen in fear of opening a can of worms. So yes, yes they will.[/B]

Pot calling the kettle black. Typical Cornhusker, but I guess you are a Des Moines Husker, so not a true Husker, opinion voided.
I would point out that Nebraska has half of the TV sets that the State of Iowa has, and is a sparsely populated state. And yet they invited Nebraska.
I'm not sure it is completely about TV sets........
When did this happen? Sure we got destroyed by OU last season, but we are not in the 90's anymore and Jim Walden is not our coach. Hell we even beat a Texas team that beat Nebraska's brains in the week before, what's that say about Nebraska? What puts Nebraska fans on such a high horse, what the hell have they done as of late? How has Rhoads done against the Huskers, should be 2-0? Just saying ISU is a long ways away from being that doormat that used to be in the 90's. And Rhoads will continue the progress this season. Oh and there is no way ISU falls from a power conference status, that I can promise you.What does this comment even mean? Better tell the rest of the Iowa fans on here that live out of state that you cant have an opinion if you live out of state. Since you voided my opinion does that mean Jon is going to delete it from my opinion count?
Don't be mad at me because your President and AD are in reactionary mode and hooked your trailer to that stick of dynamite in Austin. When CFB armaggedon does happen I hope you land softly in a nice little conference like the MAC or MWC, you guys would probably do really well there and might be able to go on a run like TCU or BSU and get an atlarge bid. Getting your brains beat in, year in and year out in your current environment is not a healthy situation. Everyone seems to see it but you.

How do you know that, I mean honestly? What kind of BS statement is that? Just because Nebraska is not in the conference? The second is also a bold statement considering he was approached by a few ADs last season that would be looked at as better schools, but he turned them down. You are no better than a blog writer, throwing **** against the wall and hoping it sticks.Pretty sure Texas didnt exactly beat our brains in. We lost by 7 points and had multiple drops in the endzone for TD's. I didnt know getting beat by a TD was a blowout. ISU is closer to being a doormat than you think, with the way Texas has reformed things, its about to go back to the old Big8 days pretty quickly. Basically the same schedule you used to have in the 80's-90's just replace NU with Texas. Anytime you have the slightest success your coach will be poached and back to square 1. Its just the way things are, but i think you could do well in a smaller conference.
Syracuse and Rutgers could help the Big 10 extend the "footprint" of the B10 network. More importantly, both Rutgers and Syracuse are excellent when it comes to academics ... and that would be a great plus when it comes to resource sharing between the different research universities.
Iowa State isn't as alluring because it doesn't extend the footprint, it doesn't have a national sports draw like ND, and it simply isn't as strong academically.
BTW, the Big 10 would never consider Baylor for expansion. Notre Dame is the only school with a religious affiliation that the Big 10 would even remotely consider bringing into the fold.
Is ISU a smaller school? Just as big as an enrollment as Iowa? Any team in the power 6 conferences will be in the super conferences. This is may seem to be all about what each school has to offer, but in the end, a University and its football program still fall as a not-for-profit regulated by state and federal government. Any school left out for the reasoning of not "providing a profit" will sue and win, because again Universities are not for-profit organizations and will not want to be viewed as such. How do they get around the issue? Allowing schools that are in the power conferences to remain in one. Again the conferences do not want to open a can of worms.At no point did I suggest that Baylor would be a possible expansion option for the B10. In fact I suggested the opposite. "...B10, SEC and PAC10 will take the big players and leave the scraps like ISU, Baylor etc to scramble for themselves. " "They have to hope someone throws them a lifeline".
Additionally, institutions are not limited to resource sharing with their athletic conference.
While Rutgers and Syracuse offer excellent academics and an access to the NY market, they would have trouble competing athletically in the B10. And the competition factor limits their NY market value. All of the existing members would have to take a smaller revenue slice to take on one/both of these teams. How many New Yorkers are going to tune in to watch their local team get pounded every year when they can watch the Jets, Giants or the myriad of other options?
ND and Missouri both offer a lot to the B10. ISU offers nothing. There are going to be a lot of smaller schools left out in the cold when this expansion fever dies down.

I didn't read it because it's totally ridiculous. No way the B10 is going to split up its pie like that.
