Big Ten going to 12 teams? (Looks like it's Pitt)

Texas?

Texas?

Why? If you were affiliated with Texas in any way how pissed off would you be if your team was playing in the Big Ten? It would be a sick move by the Big Ten and the worst move ever if you were Texas.

Big fish in small pond?

UTexas thinking about a statewide cable tv network, that's a big part of it.

Texas makes half the revenue that any big ten team currently makes. Basically it would be a 10 million dollar a year upgrade. Not to mention adding themselves into better lucrative TV markets (Chicago, Detroit, Columbus) vs. any shitty Oklahoma or Nebraska market.

It's all about the Benjamins.

I would think if Texas switched over, Okalahoma and Mizzou would come as well.

Pretty much the definitive word on who the Big Ten should take.

IMO, the guy gives way too much credit to Rutgers and Syracuse. The Big Ten won't add someone just to add someone. They DO need to make a splash.

I think it still boils down to Notre Dame--then everyone elts. Unless you take into consideration, as someone above mentioned, that Tejas would add to the Big Ten Network millionses more of dollars, and every Big Ten team's TV revenues would probably just about double.
