Why would the other Big 10 schools want Texas? Texas would dominate that conference. Neither OSU or Michigan would ever even sniff a championship shot again.

Well, FWIW, that tracks closely to rumors that came off a Northwestern message board last night and from a "Chicago lawyer" with B10 "sources" on Tigerboard today. MU would go in with NU, Texas and AtM ... and Notre Dame. That puts them at 16.

I can't believe I'm even posting this.

Even in the absence of any developments a media org needs to publish a quantity of material in proportion to the level of interest in that story. So the speculate, most of the writers knowing little even compared to the fans following the situation.

Then you have people like Kietzman and others whose perception is that basketball is relevant at all. Other than a month in March, it's nowhere in the same universe of importance.

That is just the lay of the land. America has a huge appetite for the NFL and similarly less for the NBA.

UH because they were played like a fiddle by the Big 10 after they decided to show everyone in the Big 12 how tough they were. They had an invitation and it has since been pulled because they never wanted Mizzou. They were used to get NU or possibly Notre Dame and now they're pro Big 12 and wants to keep it together after getting shafted by the Big 10. Try and keep up stupid.........
