Well, if that happens, at least their starters will be well rested for their bowl games after playing 1 half every week.

Oh yeah, and 0 chance it happens anyway

does not fit

Pitt thing got posted, JRoth...

yesterday there was talk of UT to the Pac 10... this is all garbage rumors, UT is going nowhere

Pac 10 will add Utah and 1 out of BYU/Boise/TCU, IMO... Big 10 will add Pitt or end up settling for someone like Mizzou, but who knows obv

pretty much guaranteed to be one or the other

If they expand I like the idea of going to 16 better than 12, I hate the SEC and Big 12 current setups. Get 2 8-team wings and you play 7 conf games, like the big east does. Opens up a game to get a quality non-conf rivalry going (or you could go the SEC route and schedule Coastal Carolina each year).

YES^^

They need to go at least 14. Can they actually do something innovative for once?

Just curious, why all the 0% responses? It makes sense financially for both sides and isnt that what people say CFB is all about (ie when talking about the BCS)

So true Waco. As a cu fan I'm sick of it. The north sucking so bad hurts every team in a recruiting cycle no team can break without a stud team as a resident.
Just shuffle a few teams up and down to balance it out again. How about Texas in the north? At least it's a star for the north in general. It's probably as good as the big ten anyhow, I kid I kid. Sort of.
obv it can't be that easy, just throwing it out there.

<H1 id=article-title>Texas Longhorns and Big Ten Expansion? Stranger Things Have Happened</H1> by Bret Feddern

<SPAN id=real-article-date-info>Written on February 11, 2010</SPAN>

A report this morning out of the Lawrence Journal-World in Kansas has Big Ten fans more excited than a fat kid in a candy store.

The paper quotes a source with ties to the Big Ten that claims the conference has engaged in "preliminary exchanges" with a much bigger fish from the Big 12: Texas.

"There have been preliminary exchanges between the Big Ten and Texas," the source told the Journal-World on Wednesday. "People will deny that, but it’s accurate."

Should this happen, it would undoubtedly be one of the biggest conference shifts to ever transpire in college football.

Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel tweeted a link to the story, then reminded people he tweeted the idea of the Big Ten going after Texas back in December. Mike DeCourcy from The Sporting News had similar theories.

"No one seems to recognize the genius of this suggestion, which may be evidence of its genius," DeCourcy proclaimed.

At first, this idea didn't make any sense whatsoever. Why on earth would Texas want to leave the Big 12, a conference they have recently dominated with high-powered offense, to head to the Big Ten, a conference known for tougher competition and ground-and-pound football?

Money of course.

By adding the state of Texas to the Big Ten Network market, the Big Ten could benefit from a huge financial windfall.

Texas currently brings in the most television money in the Big 12, due in large part to its frequent national network appearances. While Texas is rumored to be forming its own statewide TV Network, the Big Ten Network does offer up a ton of potential for the Longhorns. If the deal was sweet enough, Texas would be foolish to turn it down.

The idea of adding Texas to the Big Ten sparks way too many questions.

What would the divisions be?

What do the coaches think?

What do Texas Longhorn fans think?

What does college football fans on a whole think?

Is this good for the Big Ten?

Is this a scam?

Will this help me score a date with a hot Texas cheerleader?

This is almost too big to ponder. I need a drink.

What would the divisions be? Who fuckin knows

What do the coaches think? Texas would worry about travel, B10 about getting blown out.

What do Texas Longhorn fans think? The rational fans ive seen on message boards favor it for the $$$

What does college football fans on a whole think? "why would they go to the weakest conference in the country, durrrrrr"

Is this good for the Big Ten? Yes

Is this a scam? No

Will this help me score a date with a hot Texas cheerleader? If you go to away games there

This is almost too big to ponder. I need a drink. Me too

Ill add another question

What does this do for recruiting? I dont think it changes UT, they have only taken 5 guys from out of state in the last 3 or 4 classes which is crazy. I think it helps other B10 teams by getting more exposure in texas which prolly has the most HS Fball talent in the country.

^^^^^
First thing that entered my mind as a Michigan fan, and LOL at Texas blowing through a Big Ten schedule.

Plz join the Big 10, sponsor wrestling to open up the door in the South. Also be huge for both sides in the big money sports.
