Have to agree on the possibilty of North/South but don't see only seven conference games given the challenges of finding OOC games. So would you suggest you have one "traditional" cross conference rivalry game then another rotating game or where does the 8th conference game come from?

Puttman - I assume you mean depends on?

And I think most of us know what Depends are. As far as I am concerned that definition pretty much explains what the DMR is good for. Good thing for them most outhouses have been demolished. The newspaper would have replaced the now defunct Sears Roebuck catalog for cleanliness purposes.
 
Here is THE BIG FOURTEEN, divided into socio-economic divisions:

Marshalltown, Shane? I do believe. There's a cajun' joint in the little town of Oxford. 20 miles west of IC. A shrimp po'boy that cannot be beat. I'll tell you what. Anyone who wins this, from that di-rection, I'll send a gift certificate. That effing good.

Not much for ambience, Shane, but the food is excellent. THE best Pork Tenderloin in Iowa, believe it or not. I haven't had the steak, yet.
 
I'm surprised a lot of you bandwagon jumpers haven't hopped on the Texas bus, yet.
Me? I think it's to force ND's hand. If they join the Big Ten, do they really lose the TV revenue?? I say not. The Big Ten already swamps every other conference in $$. The closest? The SEC at $40 mil behind. In fact, add up the rest of the majors. The Big 12, PAC 10, ACC and the Big Least do not equal the Big Ten's TV $$, combined. With ND joining how much $$ does that add? ND loses nothing. So, the BCS says to ND "you haven't done jack in how many years?" Join a conference. Because your 18 mil $ is history for making a BCS bowl. $6 mil, at best. Plus, the honcho's are scared to death of what happens to the Big 12 once Texas leaves. TCU???
 
Adding Neb, Mizz, and Boise;

West
Bosie
Neb
Iowa
Mizz

Boise's problem is their lack of academics or any meaningful sports program other than football.

I'm gonna go greedy here and say the Big Ten adds 3. ND figures out they can't survive on beans from NBC who hates broadcasting horrible football, and they join once the Big Ten gives them a cop out by adding Missouri and Rutgers to tap into 2 new markets while maintaining a balance between east and west.

EAST:

Pennsylvania State University
Ohio State University
University of Michigan
Michigan State University
Purdue University
University of Indiana
Rutgers University

WEST:

Notre Dame University
University of Wisconsin
University of Minnesota
Northwestern University
University of Iowa
University of Illinois
University of Missouri
