Nebraska going to Big 10...Whats Next?

**Tomato** · 06-09-10, 04:47 PM

Nebraska doesn't have and won't receive a Big Ten invitation.

**teaserpleaser** · 06-09-10, 05:06 PM

texas to pac-10 wtf?? espn reporting that its pretty much done " we did everything we could to save the big 12"

**foosh99** · 06-09-10, 05:07 PM

I was hoping mwc would extend a bid to boise state...maybe next year

**Deuce** · 06-09-10, 05:08 PM

Tomater, already basically a done deal. Missouri will be next.

**big0mar** · 06-09-10, 05:09 PM

Next thing you know, JJ will post a winning month

**suckerforparlays** · 06-09-10, 05:38 PM

Get Missouri in the Big Ten that would be awsome

I can not believe this.

I heard about it all week, just seems too weird.

Nebraska vs. OSU for the Big Ten title...haven't seen that much red since the 1940's.

to be honest with you next year or two should be fun with lotsa matchups we never may have seen

**gryfyn1** · 06-09-10, 05:51 PM

I going to odd, but talk is that the Big 12 will essentially disintegrate .. wonder if the BCS will add another conference or just snicker and pile more cash to less conferences. ..

**Chi_archie** · 06-09-10, 05:55 PM

things could get interesting....

nothing will change in the schedules for this fall, perhaps next year, this fall is here too soon to change the schedule

welcome to the Big 10 Nebraska

**suckerforparlays** · 06-09-10, 06:04 PM

**RonMexico** · 06-09-10, 06:11 PM

pac 16?

**2daBank** · 06-09-10, 06:13 PM

im pumped up for these "super conferences"

**BigdaddyQH** · 06-09-10, 06:28 PM

The Pac 16, or what ever it will be called, will play it's first season in 2012. That will be the deadline for all of the other conferences to expand to 16 teams. The Pac 10 once again leads the way. Colorado is going to the Pac 10, so Buffalo fans, do not worry. The Big question is what does the Big 10 and SEC do? The Big 10 now has 12 teams, but the Pac 10 has 4 uped them. Does the Big 10 grab Missouri, two Big East teams and leave the door open for Notre Dame to join, or do they settle for 12 teams and playing 2nd best behind the Pac 10? The SEC and ACC have the same questions to answer.

If the SEC decides to expand, they will raid the ACC and probably take natural rivals Clemson (South Carolina), Ga. Tech (Georgia) and Florida State and Miami (Florida). This forces the ACC to raid the Big East, taking the 5 or 6 teams leftover when the Big 10 is through with them, or simply merging with the Big East to form a 16 team conference if the Big 10 stops at 12 teams. If the Big 10 does take additional Big East teams, the ACC can grab the remaining Big East teams, plus UCF, and maybe Memphis, who has a strong hoops program, or a Temple, who would fit nicely in an ACC "North" division.

Next is the question of what happens to the remaining Big 12 teams. Well, Baylor should go to the conference they really belong in, that being the CUSA. They can join Rice, SMU and Houston. The other three (the two Kansas teams and Iowa State) would probably join an expanding MWC team. The MWC has 9 teams now, and are actively dancing with Boise State. With the addition of the three Big 12 teams, plus three WAC teams such as Nevada, Fresno State, and Idaho (in addition to Boise State), the MWC becomes the 5th BCS Conference, and takes over hosting the Fiesta Bowl, which will be vacated by the defunct Big 12 conference.

Notre Dame to Big 10 shortly?

Will Notre Dame look at going to Big 10 soon, or will they just sit and leech off that NBC TV contract and hope for a BCS bowl game in the next year or two?

**Chi_archie** · 06-09-10, 06:34 PM

tough to tell what is gonna happen at this stage of the game...everyone's waiting for the first hat to drop

Do you have points in the sportsbook that you would like to wager on this?

**2daBank** · 06-09-10, 06:43 PM

i heard that the big ten schools actually get something like 13 million more a year from big-10 network than ND does from nbc, obviously ND isnt hurting for money though and being independent gives them a pretty easy road to a bcs game plus they think there special and being independent is part or there perceived specialness

**Ashleyfrench07** · 06-09-10, 06:44 PM

I hate that they are trying to break up the big 12

**coloradobuff** · 06-09-10, 06:46 PM

big 12 is about to become an afterthought..wouldnt be happening if we had playoff system..

**Brock Landers** · 06-09-10, 06:47 PM

Big 12 is going to the Pac 10 and Big 10...whats left of it will be comincal...not sure what will become of Colorado, Kansas, Iowa St, Kansas St...

Colorado was never part of the pac-10 discussion

**DrStale** · 06-09-10, 06:56 PM

The reason the Big 10 went to the Big 12 teams is because Notre Dame has no intention of changing where theyre at. Nebraska it is, not ND

i have 8 points riding on philly hockey tonight, i'll have 15 if they win, and will wager them with you along with 8 more which i'll earn tonight for posting. youre wrong, nebraska has been offered by the big ten to join and they have informally accepted

you really wanna bet this? its been ll over the place, id happily wager on neb going to big-10 if you want...

**stealthyburrito** · 06-09-10, 07:59 PM

the collapse of the big 12 is inevitable, everyone will be jumping ship to the pac-10, mwc, and maybe even the sec (

)

**ronjon619** · 06-09-10, 08:05 PM

The Huskers have a bad taste from the Big 12 championship game. They will leave. The wildcard is Notre Dame. I can't wait for NU to destroy the Hawkeyes every year.

**Z_Wipf** · 06-09-10, 10:51 PM

A nebraska fan , born and raised. I still don't know what to think of all of this

**mtneer1212** · 06-09-10, 10:53 PM

I do not think the SEC will do anything. I think they will stand pat.
