Big 12 teams left in the dark....
KANSAS
KANSAS STATE
IOWA STATE
MISSOURI
BAYLOR
yep Big 12 is dead. But if the Big10 is satisfied with just adding Big Red isn’t enough. Why not make this easy and invite ND and Cincy and try to even out what the Pac 16 did.
In terms of other sports(basketball)Kansas loses bigtime in this unless the SEC? steps in....
The remains of the Big 12 will probably raid the Mountain West conference and go after Air Force, BYU etc
This sucks.
(Oh, and HI CLEVE!!!! :) )
and invite ND
never going to happen.....the big 10 may need N.D. but N.D. doesn’t need the big ten. They have such a lucritive football deal, that a conference could never touch it
Notre Dame has already had their chance a number of years ago when they were invited to join the Big 10. There are 2 reasons why Notre Dame will not join the Big 10 or any other conference right now for football.
1. Their $50 Million per year contract with NBC.
2. Their deal in the BCS. If Notre Dame makes a BCS bowl, they are guaranteed $10 million. If they do not make a BCS bowl, they still get $1.5 Million.
With the exception of Football and hockey, Notre Dame is a member of the Big East. Football, they are an independent. Hockey, they are a member of the CCHA.
Unless the Big 12 gains the majority of the Mountain West members, I would like to see Iowa State and Missouri in the Big 10. Kansas and Kansas State also might be interesting.
the Big Ten will never invite Cincy. Cincy would never be approved by the university presidents.
They could add Houston, Rice and SMU and go back to being the Big-8.
