Big Ten Expansion Dominoes

Report: Nebraska regents informally OK move to Big Ten - Sporting News staff reports - College Football - Sporting News

It appears official that Nebraska Board of Regents will vote to join the Big Ten on Friday. This puts the Big 10 at 12, as they have been at an odd number since adding Penn State in 1990. They do not plan to stop there though.

Here in Iowa rumors are that Maryland is next on the list of schools the Big Ten will try to add if Notre Dame continues to turn them down. Is there any discussion of this going on in DC or where ever everyone is located?

Being a Big Ten fan, a little part of me has to chuckle at the BigXII getting blown up, but fearful of a potential Pac 16.

It sounds like the SEC is ready to raid the ACC, and the ACC to raid the Big East as this whole thing implodes.

There are even wacko reports of when the dust settles there will be four super 16 conferences and they will leave the NCAA and do their own thing, creating a new "Division 1" and starting a playoff system.

The whole thing is fueled by greed, and going to shake the whole college world big time if half of the predictions come true.
