Suprised to see Rutgers talk about option with B1G. Last school that did this is still in the Big12.

It is my gut feeling nothing happens in the Big Ten until Notre Dame wants to join.

Re: B1G in contact with Rutgers?
Better not be. With all the stuff flying around, I'm sure the Big Ten will expand but if they are looking at crap programs like Rutgers then we might as well go to the MAC.

Rutgers will NEVER be in the Big Ten. Talking about that is a waste of breath.

According to multiple sources throughout the Big East, conference schools from top to bottom are unhappy with the leadership of the current Big East administration.
After word got out that Iowa State and Baylor were talking with officials about joining the conference, existing members are saying, "awwww HELL no!"

Ok, yeah, Baylor would be worse. IMO, Texas would be too.

I think I would rather have ISU...

Re: B1G in contact with Rutgers?
An updated version of the ESPN article about Pitt & Syracuse applying to the ACC:

"The ACC may not be done, either. The ACC would become a 14-team conference and is still considering adding two other East Coast teams. USA Today reported Connecticut and Rutgers would be the candidates."

No, I wouldn't be thrilled with Rutgers in the Big Ten. But when you get down to it, a lot of this is going to be about the number of eyeballs a team can bring in, and Rutgers is best way to get the NYC market.

I think a lot is contingent on if the SEC poaches from the ACC.

It appears the Big Ten is going to miss the boat on Rutgers as well. It seems weird that with all this conference expansion talk swirling around and the Big Ten remains quiet.
