Missouri & Kansas will be the two teams added to the Big10(12). It would not shock me one bit to see ISU and K-State added should 16 teams be the norm.
ND isn't going to join a conference. They are perfectly fine as long as the BCS gives them them the gift of automatic invite.
A&M is headed to the SEC.
Oklahoma and Ok St will go West and join the Pac12. Texas and TTech will likely head west as well. Baylor is going to get screwed, they know it, which is why they are fighting A&M to the SEC.
Other teams that could potentially be relegated to mid-tier conferences: ISU & K-State

If 16 team super conferences do come about there is no way ISU and K-State are in the Big Ten.
Notre Dame will have to take one of the spots because their special treatment will be over with the super conferences as you will see a playoff replace the BCS system and to be part of the playoff you will need to be in one of the 16 team conferences.

ESPN reporting ISU and Baylor in talks with Big East

No way the B10 would add all four of MU, KU, KSU, and ISU.

no way does ISU & K State get an invite. They bring nothing but another mouth to feed.
If the report about Pitt and Syr to ACC are accurate then ISU and Baylor's move to the BEast ends up being little more than a life raft. BEast could even lose its AQ status eventually.

I could see ISU, ND, MU, and a northeast team
would be a good geographic fit and there is some history with different teams in the big10 already.
MU and Nebraska would compete for who best represents the phrase, "Only in this conference for sports, sorry about our academics"

Missouri is an option. ISU, KSU and Kansas are non-starters. No TV markets, tiny fanbases (sub-50k stadiums), no National fan interest.
It's all about ND and eastern TV markets.

they bring plenty brah. just not huge/new markets.
in every single way other than football, ISU has more to bring the bigten than that turd nebraska who got let in last year

Not being mentioned is the fact that the reporting has started tieing ISU & Baylor together in this game of musical chairs. Very bad sign for ISU.

considering the big ten has a member that doesnt compete in athletics and is strictly a part of the conference academically, I would think ISU's grant dolla dolla bills would be fairly lucrative.
ISU is better athletically and has equal or better facilities than a third of the existing big ten.

A great engineering school, well-fed coeds, and...?
The revenue matters, "brah".
In all seriousness, it has to be horrifying for ISU, Missou and the Kansases to see the Big East life raft spring a giant leak.

NEB > ISU in football and what comes with that. that is all
nebraska brings down the big ten otherwise. specifically academically

I didnt say the revenue and markets didnt matter.
"what can you do for us" aside, ISU would be a great fit
thanks brah

ISU brings NOTHING to the B1G. The Big Ten wants a money maker not a mouth to feed.
