I'm a little torn on the issue, I originally was hoping for the Big Ten to add more Big Ten matchups similar to what the Pac-10 does with everyone playing everyone else. But I saw the economic argument, especially for a program like us which supports a ton of sports programs. If switching to 12 teams gives us more of a competitive advantage, sure. There's always extending the season as well like Wisconsin and Illinois have done. Just sprinkle in some bye weeks.

Bye weeks do wonders for rehabbing injury. And they always benefit the better coaching staff.

If the Big Ten goes to 12 teams what schools/programs are targeted?
Iowa State, Missouri, Pitt, West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisville, Cincinnati or ND? Once the 12th is added who belongs where (EAST - WEST)? Go Bucks! |

Honestly, I think our only target should be ND or Missouri. The rest just don't cut it from an academic/athletic/financial(tv rating) stand point consistently.

Pittsburgh would be my #1 choice. Quality program and sits directly in Big Ten country.
ND will never join the Big Ten. |

Don't think Kentucky would leave SEC. Mainly for BBall, the SEC is horrible, and the Wildcats own it!
Nebraska anyone???!!! |

I don't think we'll be able to pull any other schools from the Big 12 or SEC. Eithe ND or a Big East school is likely, otherwise we stay with 11 teams.
