B12 close to adding 2? Not quite but talks have been ongoing with 2 schools not in the P5 in the event of a split or D4 requiring CCG

MH3@MH33h
One of those schools would give WVU a travel partner in all sports. The other may just be FB only

@MH3 @TEmbacher gotta be Cincy and BYU

cincy is a given... not sold on BYU.
uconn could be a play if the Big12 wanted exposure to NYC.

would really be interesting to see the the battle for the northeast to play out:
ACC with Syr and BC
Big with Rutgers
Big12 with Uconn

Who wins that battle? And why wouldn't the smallest conference footprint wise not want a piece of the NYC action.

Then I mentioned that I was glad, and that we've been pooped on enough.

I'm not holding my breath that his rumors come true but I'll take any scrap of a rumor to gnaw on right now.

We are on the radar boys!!!!!!

I'm with Mike, not holding my breath, but I'll take anything.

If there is a new division 4, and us Boise, USF, etc are a part of it, you have to think some network would pay,more than 2 million a year per school for the right to broadcast those games. But then again, who the hell knows anymore.

Caught this on the ESPN blog for Missouri while Googling ‘Missouri Big Ten Expansion’ dated June 11th.

Greg from Philadelphia writes: Hey Adam. After the ACC's recent move, I only have 1 suggestion left regarding expansion: Missouri and Kansas. Missouri is the no brainer because they've already shown interest in joining and fit much better culturally with the B1G than they do with the SEC. However, I'm not sure how Kansas would get out of the Big 12's grant of rights. Still, they would bring an AAU member with great basketball tradition to arguably the best basketball conference in the country right now (Missouri isn't bad either). Now I know basketball isn't what's driving this, but it's still a possibility. This would also allow Purdue to go back to the East and we could simply split the divisions down the time zone line. What do you think?

Adam Rittenberg: Greg, I think it ultimately comes down to how much the Big Ten actually wants to expand again. Remember, the last expansion was all about bringing in new markets and becoming a true bi-regional conference (Midwest and East Coast). Although Missouri and Kansas also bring in new markets -- most notably Kansas City -- they're not located in a new region like Maryland and Rutgers are. If the ACC is indeed out of poaching play, there aren't many if any attractive expansion options on the East Coast, so the Big Ten once again has to ask itself, is getting bigger any better? I've always thought Missouri would be a good fit in the Big Ten and seems to be out of place in the SEC. Kansas doesn't do much for me because the football program has been erratic, to put it nicely. This isn't about basketball, as much as fans wish it were. Missouri is one to watch in my view, but I'd be surprised if another Big Ten expansion doesn't include a team closer to the East Coast.

CTMike, I'm outa town right now visiting colleges with my daughter (I know I should tell her "UCONN or nothing!" but it's amazing what you'll do for your kids.). Since I'm away, I can't tune into this podcast, so PLEASE, we're all grasping at straws here. Update us before too late tonight so I can go to sleep dreaming B1G thoughts...

Yeah well it's the dude. Eventually he had to include us in a rumor because he's already mentioned everyone else.

Everything stands pat with the Big 12 going to 12 or 14? Say what?

If you stand pat........

Nothing will change.....except for the fact that there will be a major conference change...

I guess he means every conference stands pat except for the Big 12. And UConn is on the radar for the Big 12.

Being told today that several members of both the MWC and the AAC participated in clandestine activities over the past few days.

MH3@MH37h
Being told there is a strong desire for those that met to form their own new conference.

MH3@MH37h
Schools that had representation there that I know: UH, USF, SDSU, BSU, Uconn, and ECU. There more there but those are the only I can confirm

Carnot Evans@carnot37h
@MHver3 no UCF? no BYU?

MH3@MH35h
@carnot3 can't confirm either but doesn't mean they weren't there. I only know the ones I listed.

Eric Schaible@9mmmetal7h
@MH3 no Cincinnati?

MH3@MH35h
@9mmmetal I believe Cincy was the catalyst for the meeting. But no they were not in attendance.

Eric Schaible@9mmmetal5h
@MH3 meaning B12 bound I assume?

This ties in with Tuxedo Yoda's tweet:

the Dude says we are being vetted by the B1G! whoo hoo! on our way. Also said that Coincy and BYU would be #11 and #12 to B12 and that Uconn and USF would be #13 and #14 if they went that far

I can rest easy now

He just mentioned that UConn is on the B1G's radar and being vetted... UConn bringing value in hoops, hockey, other sports. Also on the Big12 radar if they expand to 14 - with Cinci and BYU as 11/12, and UConn/USF as 13/14.

Rutgers was on the B1G's radar for 20 years.

Thanks for taking one for the team. This has truly been a painful few years for husky fans.
