I was listening to 610 Sports Radio Kansas City this morning and they were talking in length about the Big 12 conference losing aTm and possibly Missouri, etc....Anyway they started saying that the Big 12 (lead by Texas' AD) is putting together an exploratory committee to start going out and poaching teams from other conferences/independents using Texas' power to ultimately strengthen the Big 12 and stop the exits out.

#1 on in their crosshairs is Notre Dame and they firmly believe they can get them. What is funny though is its based on the option of ND having the same type of set up that Texas has giving ND the option for their own TV network. (Yeah because that is working sooo well for your conference already)

#2 on list is TCU (yeah I can see this one)

#3 on their list is Minnesota!
LOL...yeah I laughed hard when I heard that and called in to the station at that point. I gave them my take on Minnesota and no way in hell they are leaving the B1G for the Big 12. He came back at me saying he wasn't implying Minnesota was leaving to come to the Big 12 he was just saying they are going to be approached by the Big 12 exploratory committee. I told him he and the Big 12 are off their rocker and it would be a waste of the Big 12's time to approach Minnesota and if ND is joining any conference it would be the B1G.

It is quite funny listening to these fools down here. They have no clue how well the B1G operates and how strong it is as a conference.

This is my take on it. Now with all of that said. Do any of you guys/gals see Minnesota giving the Big 12 even 1 ear to hear them out?

Minnnesota is about as likely to join the Big 12 as the Dallas Cowboys.

I actually could see ND joining if the Big 12 becomes a start your own network league. That would be something that the Big 12 offers ND that the B1G doesn't.

I know the temps get pretty warm in KC during the summer. Obviously some people have suffered heat strokes.

Thanks to University of Texas' greed the Big 12 conference is a dead man walking, the conference is desperate and grasping

[HawkinGoferLand]

no team from B10 would listen, why would they? so they can decrease revenue?

[Cyclones17]

Notre Dame to the Big 12 is 100X more likely than Notre Dame to the Big 10. If you don't believe that than you are not very well informed.

[FML]

why would any team want to join the b12 at this point?

Within a year, they may have 3 major schools leave their conference. Makes a ton of sense to hop on that train.

I am pretty sure the Big 12 has just decided to form a committee. I don't think they have listed a group of names, other than UT has about 20 names they thought might make sense.

Chris Williams summed it up well today in his blog. Expansion brings out the worst in journalism. There are so many unsourced stories out there that I am pretty sure that wishful fans and journalists looking to get a few more views are throwing anything they can out there.

I've seen nothing that states that Notre Dame is considering the Big 12, not saying it's not out there but I have not seen it my self.

I also live in South Bend and Notre Dame fans don't seem to be taking these rumors too seriously so take that for what it's worth.

[BabcockIC]

Do you have a link or a source or is ND to Big XII your own logical deduction?

Link?

I never said that Notre Dame was going to the Big 12. Never said it. I'm just saying the chances of them joining the Big 12 are much greater than the Big 10. For one, they don't like the Big 10 and their commish. Second, the Big 12 would allow them to keep their contract with NBC. It's pretty simple and something that has been known about for years now.
