Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[Muck]

Well, we have played some pretty good SEC teams, while Missouri has played some not so great SEC teams.

Common opponents:
South Carolina - Ohio State 0-2, Missouri 1-0
Arkansas - Ohio State 1-0, Missouri 1-1

This is getting pretty ridiculous. And what a great move by West Virginia, leave the conference that is currently imploding for one that will be within five years. Brilliant.

It's at times like these that you really have to appreciate being in the Big Ten.

What other option do they have?

No idea. Thus:

More 'The Big Leftovers' conference chatter...

Mountain West, Conference USA officials to talk to Big East chief about joining forces

Commissioners from the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA are scheduled to meet with the head of the Big East Conference on Wednesday to discuss the formation of one 28- to 32-football team super conference to try to gain automatic Bowl Championship Series status.

The Mountain West and Conference USA already have agreed to merge by either next year or in 2013. The Big East has automatic BCS status, but is in danger of losing it after 2013 and has been exploring adding teams from the Mountain West and Conference USA in an attempt to salvage it. But the two Mountain West members face hefty exit fees should they leave -- Boise State up to $21 million and Air Force up to $9.6 million -- that could dissuade them from jumping to the Big East.

Seeing an opportunity, Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson and Conference USA's Britton Banowsky will make the proposal to the Big East's John Marinatto in New York to create a mega conference.
