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

[Tahoe]

I think ND is expecting greatness from their new coach so there is about zero chance of that happening, imlkots.

Nebraska? Not a bad thought.

Seriously, the only one that makes sense is Iowa State. Always thought having Iowa and Iowa State in different conferences was kinda weird.

Then you bring in Ohio to round it out.

[Glenn]

yes, adding a 13th team really does round it out.

The Big Baker's Dozen.

But don't forget Penn, Minnesota St., Wisconsin St., Indiana St., Illinois St., northwestern St., Purdue St., etc.

SUPERCONFERENCE

But honestly, UConn makes a lot of sense, too.

Bigger is better.

You can have the U.'s vs the States. That would be so awesome!!!

Source: Pitt headed to Big 10
University of Pittsburgh athletics are moving to the Big 10 conference, according to sources close to the school.

Some athletes were informed of the move over the weekend, a little birdie tells me. This move sets up the natural rivalry with Penn State who joined the conference in 1990. It also gives the Big 10 another east coast presence.

Pitt will become the 12th school in the Big 10, with an official announcement expected by Thursday. This means you'll be seeing a Big 10 football title game.

Expect the Pac Ten to consider adding teams to catch up with the SEC, Big 12, Big 10 and the rest of the big boys

No word on who will replace Pitt in the Big East.

That's not like you not to link something Glan. Is this honest?

[Glenn]

I got confused. Usually Maller just links to other people's stuff (and writes bad headlines) so I didn't see a link for this one. But now I see that it's actually him reporting this, and others and latching on now.

Yeah, he's getting a lot of attention now.
