Is the Big 10 done expanding for this year?

[nationalchamps]

What do you think, Jon?

 

[IcomeInPeace]

Speaking for Jon, The BigTen will add one more team before the end of the month.

 

[mgmbruce]

Not Jon but I hope so. It's just my opion but I don't like 14-16 teams to a conf.

 

[mgmbruce]

who do you think the 13th team will be?

 

[jameskalina]

From what I've read the Big Ten may be done for awhile.

Unless Notre Dame decides to join I think the expansion stops until next year at the earliest. Just my opinion.

 

[bws258]

the answer is Notre Dame, and the time-frame is by June 30, 2011

I agree,this is over until next spring,when ND and Rutgers/Md will join...finishing the process at 14.

 

[cibula11]

Yep, I don't see another team being added this year. Until the remainder of the Texas League figured out how much they got screwed and wants out, we won't see anymore movement.

 

[nationalchamps]

Then why stop at Nebraska? They don't add any additional revenue in regards to tv sets and now we're splitting money with another team. Doesn't something seem odd?

 

[JoeHawki]

Unless they add 2 or 4, I hope they are done this year. What about the PAc 10 are they done? they are now 11. do they try to get a 12th team this year still?

 

[TheInsideSource]

This is not over. Notre Dame and one more will come.

Eventually.

rumor is Utah has already sent notice to the Mtn West that they are going Pac-10

 

[Palpatine]

The Big Ten has acted, and may act again.

And whoever we invite will be thrilled to join us. We do things the right way, unlike the Texas Conference.

Boise State will be happy to hear this news...D'OH!

Nebraska doesn't add a huge market but they add eyeballs, additional programing hours and I would think as a result advertising revenue. For now I think the B10 would be content with that and we start again next year. This year seemed to be a see who flinches off season.

Nobody else gets in unless they are named Notre Dame. Only then we would look at one of Rutgers/Maryland/Pitt/Syracuse to join as the 14th and final member. I don't see us expanding any further than that.
