Speculation continues to grow concerning the Big 10 (11? 12? 14? 16?) and what their plans are for expansion. All parties involved continue to deny that any offers or even talks have been had but as we learned with the ACC expansion in 2004, where there is smoke, there is usually fire. Some reports have invitations to Notre Dame, Missouri, Nebraska, and Rutgers. Haven't they gotten tired of being rejected by Notre Dame? Just move on already. Missouri and Nebraska are excellent choices. Can you imagine annual games involving Ohio State/Nebraska, Michigan Nebraska, or Penn State/Nebraska? Incredible. Rutgers is somewhat of a boring move. I get bringing in the New York market but is Rutgers really the caliber of other Big Ten schools? Not really.
If they decide to go to more than 12 teams (which many people are reporting), what does that mean for the rest of the NCAA landscape. Well first, it means no more Big 12. At least not in the form we know it now. Missouri and Nebraska would go to the Big 10, Colorado would most likely go to the PAC 10 and you know the SEC would flirt with Texas and Oklahoma. While we wait for what could be the most earth-shattering shift in the college landscape history, the aftershocks may be what surprises us all.
