Big Ten Expansion could be more money for everyone

[SFP]

A report just came in saying what everyone else knows that a Big Ten expansion with the right teams will mean greater revenue for everyone.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=4959107 I expect to see the wheels start turning real soon. I also expect the Big Ten to move from 11 teams to 16. Just my hunch!

I think your hunch is on the right track SFP. . .

It's inevitable it's going to happen. I haven't yet read the article you linked, but I read several others this morning.

Texas is the biggest prize. All the talk about Missouri is funny. If anyone leaves the BXII, the league loses quite a bit of prestige. If Texas believes any one will leave the league, it will be only too happy to leave first.

And I don't believe Texas or A&M were in the B10 report, although a Pac-10 administrator publicly stated he believed both schools had been in contact with both leagues. Which leads me to believe they could be a package deal.

We also could see 4-16 team conferences at the highest level in a few years and then everyone else on their own.
