If the Big 12 does cease to exist in a few years the Big Ten should grab the five north schools left out in the cold. Yeah I know the Big Ten wants an east coast presence (jamming the Big Ten network into NYC to rake in the $$$$) with Rutgers and would basically do anything to grab Notre Dame (more $$$$). Iowa State & Kansas State would pretty much bring nothing to the table but Kansas, Missouri & Nebraska would. East - Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue West - Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin
