Notre Dame will not move until/unless it becomes clear the super conference is coming.
I think the writing is on the wall with that.
My favorite thing in all this... Texas' "Ultimatum" is just going to work in Missouri and Nebraska's favor. Best thing that could happen for those schools:
1) Friday "Ultimatum" deadline comes and goes, and the Texas 6 depart as a result.
2) THOSE schools are the ones that get nailed for leaving the league on short notice. (LOLZ)
3) The Big Ten, in response to the Pac-16, goes to 16 (or possibly even 18). Notre Dame, seeing the super conference movement pick up speed, agrees to join the new Big 16 (rather than get left behind. All that NBC money dwindles if all the rest of the good football schools take their balls to a new league)
4) Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Rutgers and Syracuse join the Big 16.
5) kansas, kansas state, Iowa State and the loser of the Baylor/Colorado feud for the Texas 6's final spot join the MWC (which likely gains BCS status in a year or two... and then sees the BCS disappear when the fourth super conference is formed).
This is extremely beneficial for Missouri and Nebraska recruiting (both in KC, Missouri in St. Louis).
And I'll wish ku good luck recruiting Josh Shelby's when they are playing in the MWC and not on national TV weekly...
