Big Ten Looking To Expand

[jHammack]

So... if we go to 12 teams do we look even more retarded by keeping the "Big 10" name?

Haha well you can't change it to the Big 12. Personally the Big 10 name is there for tradition and nothing more, but 12 teams in a "Big 10" just makes it look dumb. I mean what about those other 2 teams in their conference, they must be little huh?

aside from notre dame these schools (that are not already in the big 10) are the only legit candidates and from those you can eliminate any school that is not in a state that boarders a big ten school as that is also a requirement.

For that matter, how do they hide a "12" in the conference logo?

What else would you call it? Midwestern 12?

ND to the Big East makes more sense given ND's affiliation with the conference in most other sports.

I think the Big East takes a C-USA team if a current member leaves. East Carolina, I'd guess.

Maybe they could use hexadecimal instead of roman numerals. Big C? Maybe Big Dozen?
