sounds like the B10 might expand in phases. Delany said that on espn as one of his options, also if Nebraska is the only one, that seems like they are waiting for the P10 to go to 16 to scare ND into joining and bring in 1-3 others. Or they could be taking Missouri and Nebraska and one other and waiting for ND after all that to go to 16.

There's a rumor that Colorado may announce a move sooner than that. Of course, there are all kinds of rumors out there.

I hope major pieces start falling by the end of the week. I am excited to see a shakeup in the BCS world.

And the first one falls.



I hope the rest fall. I'm sick of all of the talk, I just want the action.

Sounds like Big 10 may not be as interested in Mizzou after all according to Orangebloods

That would suck for them - they get stuck with Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas and K-State.

I really wanted them in the Big 10

You can forget about an FBS playoff now. That's the main reason the sorry-a** Obese 10 even lit this powder keg.

ND is NOT one of the Big Ten dominoes. So long as there is one vocal coach against it, it's not going to happen.

Maryland? I've heard that rumor but it sounded like more of a long-shot than Pittsburgh...that would be huge news. I'd be more surprised is Maryland took it.
Appalachian State Mountaineers:

National Champions: 2005, 2006, and 2007
Southern Conference Champions: 1986, 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012

Four super conferences will be the worst thing to happen to college football. All schools not involved will be in a college football graveyard. I see a lot of schools struggling big time with money.

If they get the Terps it'd give them the Baltimore & DC markets.

I understand that, but the first rumor of the Big Ten going after Maryland seemed to die, now it's back...perhaps you don't, but I find that surprising. However, like I said, I would be more surprised if Maryland did move to the Big Ten, especially with the new TV deal the ACC just reached. Who knows what will happen, but I'd be surprised to see a Maryland-less ACC. That would also be very bad for the ACC.

Mizzou will probably still get an invitation, but only after ND commits to the B10.

Maryland is a basketball school, I can't really see them leaving the ACC. That said, I think they would dominate the Big10 in bball. Football, LOL!

How can anyone like this? This is a terrible thing that is happening to college football.
It will never be the same. There will never be a playoff system. Decreasing parity in college football... :thumbdown:
