Then it will have 12 teams. Too much tradition to change the name? What tradition? Ten schools from 1950-1990. Penn State joined in 1990. So there's now been 17 years with 11 schools. If there are 12 schools, then it goes way beyond idiocy to maintain the name as it is. Which is precisely why they'll probably keep the name as it is. That's complete nonsense, Shafer.

But, what about Ohio, where the same situation exists. Cincinnati would be the logical choice, especially if they agreed to move their home games to Paul Brown Stadium. Probably the biggest opposition to a second Big Ten school in Ohio would come from Columbus. JMO.

And then trying to charge the cable systems an arm and a leg to make it required programming on the basic tier. If the Big Ten Network is a national network, then Topeka is the Nation's Capital.

Think about it, greater expansion in recruiting in Texas. I don't like the fact that they would think about looking at Cuse, Pitt or Rutgers. It would be nice for basketball, however football is the major money maker. As far as a new conference name...I like Great MidWest Conference. What about Mizzou or Iowa State?
