dgambill Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just now, rico said: Sure they would. I would be on the phone for sure. I’m not sure what A&M market share is in Houston but at least it would add a major market for the B1G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier51 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 These are the two teams i've been thinking the B1G would go after. If not these two i'm not sure who else they would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we grab Bama and Clemson in football....and Kentucky and Louisville for hoops too. Kansas is the most obvious. After that I'm open...I just said Iowa St because their football program would be the 3rd best in West right now and they've had some success in hoops too.

rico Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 There are 3 schools in the Big 12 that are members of the AAU. Kansas, Iowa St., and Texas. FWIW A&M is a member as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Well Kansas to the Big Ten would be huge. If you're going to take it to 14 teams, why not 20? You'll lose your home & homes but you might get a more balanced schedule than some of the unfair BS we've seen recently with scheduling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 So will BIG 12 blow-up and flame out, or will they bring in some teams from lesser conferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors are that they were totally left out of this decision and don't want Texas and OU in the SEC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuckerkorn Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 With ND being a quasi-member of the ACC, does the Grant of Rights stipulation apply to them the same as the other member schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePaulieWalnuts Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 4 hours ago, Seeking6 said: At least someone is reading our board from the Big 10 office. Kansas is setting up a call to speak with Big 10. Expect Iowa St to join in too. It would definitely be Iowa State if we take another from Big 12. Possible the B1G looks east again to add a fourth dancing partner for Maryland/Penn State/Rutgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) So if we go to pods who would be in IUs? OSU, Maryland, Rutgers, Penn St IU, PU, ILL, NW Michigan, MSU, Minnesota, Wisconsin Nebraska, Iowa, Iowa St, Kansas Does this work? Then winner of each POD play in a B1G tournament playoff for B1G championship? Edited July 23, 2021 by dgambill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylor would be nice, but I am not sure about them, I don’t know much about the school itself if it fits a bigten type model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 The Big Ten loses if it gets Kansas and Iowa State out of this. No TV markets and mediocre overall athletic programs. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they'll be looking to add our little comrades from South Bend. Perhaps even reach over the SEC and see what Baylor and Tech are doing. The geographical lines died the day the Big 10 said yes to Nebraska and Rutgers. Travel doesn't matter anywhere in the country except for Pac land.

No TV markets and mediocre overall athletic programs. I'd have to see the TV market numbers but the Big 10 would never lose in getting Kansas. Iowa State maybe but they've been to more bowl games and ncaa tournaments than about half of the Big 10 the last decade. Or at least it seems that way. People say what about Colorado because of their proximity to Denver and their TV market. Denver is basically LA. Zero interest in college sports. Pro town only. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No TV markets and mediocre overall athletic programs. Kansas has i think the third biggest tv market in the Big 12. Their football might suck but the basketball would be a huge addition. Also ISU has a better football team then guite a few teams in the B1G. They kind of mirror the Hoosiers lately, a football team on the rise and a dissapointing basketball team.
