Big 10 looking to add a new team???

[jbeans187]

Corso mentioned this on the first episode of College Football Live, as an intriguing story line for the year. This way they would have 12 teams and a championship game. Corso mentioned Mizzou being a possibility. I was wondering if anyone else had knowledge of this or just everyones opinions/speculation.

I hope Mizzou doesnt move, i go there and enjoy watching Big12 teams not a fan of the Big10 teams, but i guess it would be fun playing tOSU and Michigan instead of Oklahoma and Nebraska

Wouldn't mind Mizzou or pretty much any half decent team for the Big 10. We need a title game to play later on in the year. Obviously ND is too high and mighty to even think of GASP! joining a conference which is too bad because they'd be a nice addition to the league. But we need another team.

[jbeans187]

ND would make perfect sense, i forgot about them, i usually try to do that on purpose though

[OhioState]

i would like to see ND in the confrence, then we could own them every year.

[Smokey Joe]

ND would be great to have in the conference, to bad they'd never join it.

[dabears10]

Yeah, it would be excellent in the big ten we already play like 5 teams a year.

I would love to watch it every year as well.

ND is a joke. They will keep scheduling there cupcakes and continue to lose bowl games.

Cupcakes? Pfffffffffffffft the ACC powerhouse Duke Blue Devils say hello ;)

[Turtlepower]

There is no way that ND would join the Big 11 even though it makes the most sense. The problem with ND is that in every other collegiate sport besides football, they are in the Big East.

In my opinion, incorporate a school that has been successful in a smaller conference and hope that they will grow into a competitor.

[etk]

Shouldn't ND join the Big East if they move to a conference. They're a Big East basketball school.

[TheMikey10]

What about West Virginia?

[VY10]

I hope Mizzou goes to the big 10. The big 12 then could pick up TCU or Houston who would probably be likely candidates.

Utah and BYU should be let into the Pac-10 so that they would have a championship game too.

Western or Central Michigan?
Theyve both done alrite
Ohio?

We might as well rename the Big 12 the Texas 12 if that happens, lol. That wouldn't be a bad domino effect: Mizzou move to Big 10-Ship. More Texas schools for Big 12-intense rivalry. New powers would form in the mid-majors. I'm not so sure about the Pac-10 idea, as Utah has to prove to be more consistent to move up, especially since Meyer left. Maybe Boise St. will go to the Pac-10 eventually, they have the talent and they're not too far from the Pacific.

Central Michigan is pretty good, Western Michigan might struggle if their new QB, Hiller, doesn't perform. They kept pace with Cincinatti in their bowl game so they can fight with the bottom-dwellers for sure.

[bearsfan_51]

I actually think they should get rid of Penn State and go back to having 10, but I know that won't happen. In lue of that I wouldn't mind adding Missouri or Iowa State. Other possibilities could be West Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnatti, or any MAC team.

[GB12]

I'm against adding another team. I can't think of another school that has that Big Ten feeling. Notre Dame would be the best fit, but that won't happen. Adding a Big East team does not sit well with me at all. Plus you have to remember that it affects other sports as well. Western Michigan and Ohio? Ha, you must be joking. With out the possibility of ND my choice would be Nebraska, although they might not want to. Keep it the way it is. I do like the idea of kicking out Penn State though

The Texas conference would be a modified SWC and would be rather weak unless TCU, Tech, and Houston could step it up.

Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, SMU, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, Rice, UTEP, North Texas.

Ya I can probably see Boise State and BYU joining the Pac-10 more than Utah. Utah has been relatively decent since Urban Meyer. Hawaii also comes to mind.

What would be the best though would be the SWC if they took some of the Big Eight teams instead of the other way around. Of course when SMU got the death penalty it killed this dream.

Arkansas, Baylor, Houston, Rice, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas State

If SMU was still good, Arkansas, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, Oklahoma, and Nebraska would all be really solid teams. K-State has its moments as does Tech and Houston. Only Baylor and Rice would really be the pushovers.

Yeah, I was thinking about the other sports factor too. I can't imagine seeing a Big East basketball team like Louisville, Cincy or WVU in the Big Ten. It would seem so awkward.

[keylime_5]

I'd rather the Big Ten drop a team than add one. Putting a championship game in there would ruin it and totally destroy the OSU/UM game's relevance and importance. That game is pretty much the Big Ten championship game as it is every year.

[DeathbyStat]

Add Notre Dame

That would make sense for TCU to move into the Big 12. And for it ruining the Michigan vs Ohio st game they could be in the different sections, so then they would actually be playing for the championship most years

[Shane P. Hallam]

It would be pretty awesome. Notre Dame would make sense as they have some Big Ten rivalries, but they'd never do it. Missouri would be very cool. I know there was talk we could reach out to Boise, but it may be too far distance wise. I think that we should go after Pitt to rekindle their rivalry with PSU, or WVU to bring a supreme team to a supreme conference.

[sodar21]

Don't think Missouri has the academics to qualify for the Big Ten.

[jbeans187]

They shouldnt be much different from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, or Michigan St
