Lights Out Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Looks like the Big 12 might be getting ready to kill off the Big East once and for all.Wait there is more. Louisville might consider a move to the Big 12 if a call from Dallas is made. And don’t be surprised if Boise State also gets a call. Both schools were on the short list during the Big 12′s recent configuration process in which Texas A&M and Missouri went to the SEC and TCU and West Virginia joined the Big 12.http://ajerseyguy.com/?p=3599 1 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Louisville goes, the Big XII better bring Cincinnati or Boise State. Cincy has the rivalry factor and Boise, for many years, a staple for the BCS.

NCAA football has been insane for years. Just in different ways. Still, the craziest of American sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hearing rumors that this is another step in Jim Delaney's master plan (which I have to imagine is written with crayon in the middle of a Lisa Frank coloring book) of a 16 team super-conference that ends with getting North Carolina into the B10.Going back to rams' point, if this is nothing more than the B10 playing the role of "spurned lover turned arsonist" to Notre Dame, I would be slightly surprised. Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier than a 4 super conference alignment with ND freezing out in the cold of football independence, but I'm not sure what Rutgers or Maryland bring to the table outside of being located somewhat near large metropolitan areas. If you ask me, a school like Boston College would be a much better fit than a Rutgers from an academic and athletic tradition standpoint.

pcgd Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Penn State and Nebraska made sense.Maryland is a stretch but I can accept it.Rutgers??? Nothing against Rutgers it just doesn't make sense in the B1G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B1G will go to 16 sooner rather than later.Hence why I mentioned them. At least North Carolina has the appropriate academic profile for the Conference (large Public Ivy). At least until their accreditation gets pulled for the little "football and basketball grading scandal".

DarkJourney Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 So when does Texas, Baylor, Oklahoma & Oklahoma State bolt for the Pac-12? People will deny it but it will happen eventually. The Big 12 wants to be stable and together my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There may not be a lot of people in New York that care about Rutgers but there are plenty of Michigan, Penn State, Illinois, etc. alums in New York that would watch the BTN to see their teams.
