Looks like there isn't a Big Ten Expansion thread started yet today, so here goes:
Just listened to the Black Heart Gold Pants podcast. They interviewed Missouri and Texas bloggers about Big Ten expansion. Texas guy said a very interesting thing--
You have to think about where technology is heading, and how football games are distributed. With the internet, television networks may be obsolete in a few years. The Big Ten may have gotten their network just in time to make a ton of money--other conferences may have missed the boat.
Hmmm. I'm not saying he's right, but it makes you wonder how this affects what Texas, Notre Dame, and the Big Ten presidents are thinking. Or if they even know where technology is right now.
