Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

There is a good chance UVA is headed to the Big 10.

For whatever reason the ShaggyBevo thread on expansion loves to talk about this dude's tweets. I'd love to get UVA... as team 13. Sanction PSU and keep them.

I'd LOL for days if the "eastern partner" Paterno whined about wanting to have finally came to the Big Ten as Penn State's replacement instead.

If you're trying to expand, I think you try to get one team to join immediately (2013 season), and a second team to join whenever the PSU sanctions end (if they involve death penalty or other crippling penalties).

Against reality, I'm still praying for University of Toronto to be invited.

Meh - I'd rather have the University of the Moon. Better academics and I want to see some 100+ yard field goals.

No Big 12 or Baylor threads to put this link, but it's pretty impressive.

Baylor is building a new Stadium.

Love the water areas and public grounds surrounding the walkways.

I hope they are better at building a stadium than a webiste.

I would like for this to be true - the affiliation with the B1G would go a long way to help fix the problems that caused the bruhaha earlier this summer, and as an alum, I could get easy tix to go down there every other year to watch tOSU kick their ass.

Bring back to the U of Chicago or GTFO

I wish I could find the side by side pic again, but that water looks NOTHING like they're showing in those images. The best I can do is to zoom in on Google maps. It's brown and looks like a sewer.

RIP WAC

WAC to drop football after 2012 season, commissioner Hurd says

The Western Athletic Conference is forging ahead in its battle for survival with the realization that it will not be a football-playing conference after this season.

Commissioner Jeff Hurd said Monday the emphasis has turned to finding enough schools to retain NCAA Division I recognition as a nonfootball league. The University of Denver joined the WAC this summer as a nonfootball member.

"I think that sometime in late July it became apparent that it was unlikely we could continue with football," Hurd said. "We looked at every option we could think of. With the geography we have in terms of schools, it presents a challenge."

Hurd said challenges remain for the WAC to continue, even as a nonfootball conference. It must add multiple new members for the 2013-14 school year in order to have the necessary seven for NCAA recognition. He said an answer could be coming as early as September.

"If we can't get enough league members, we can't operate as a conference," Hurd said. "We're going to do everything possible to avoid that. There aren't any obvious answers out there."

Well, they refer to the Big Ten as the Big 10, which is immediately wrong. They also write that Notre Dame announced they would be joining, which in reality would never happen - Delany would announce that we are letting, permitting or considering the possibility of having ND join us. I encourage looking for the FACTS on a reputable site like ESPN before posting
