ChiefsPlanet - Other Sports Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment

My $.02:

Pac 10 - Texas and KU
SEC - OU, OSU, MU

The ACC and Big 10 can take whatever they want from the Big East.

Notre Dame (hello today's scoreboard) would be wise to join one of them...

I think MU goes to the Big 10. Good point about Notre Dame wonder how many more seasons before they become non-prestigious.

Hard for me to see ku make the cut for the Pac-12/16, because TX and OU will likely be forced to bring their little brothers along for the ride.

Big East will not be a bad deal for ku, it will easily be the dominant basketball conference and will maintain BCS automatic qualifier status with the new Big 12 teams.

I wouldn't mind it, but I don't see the Big Ten expanding anymore until ND is ready, and I also think they think they have enough of the KC and STL markets with Nebraska, Iowa, and Illinois. I think they want to expand East.

Mizzou to SEC

Remaining Big 12 teams merge with Big East.

I'm an old Big 8 fan. I just hate the thought of KU, KSU, and ISU playing Rutgers and the likes. I want to see good old Mid-Western matchups.

Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, Mizzou, KU, and KSU would make a great schedule every year IMO.

It's probably like 70% Mizzou/20% Illini/ 10% KU

Greek Myth status at this point.

Same here. I'm just saying what I think will happen, not necessarily what I want to happen.

The Big 8 f'd up. We were all way too naive and let Texas come into our house and start telling us what to do. It sucks that they have single-handedly killed our conference and tradition.

Oh I know, but they have enough of a toehold to push the Big Ten onto cable providers in the area. If it's not on now, it will be eventually, and that is what matters.

The SEC doesn't have any of the Missouri market, and adding Mizzou would enable them to do the same in KC and STL.

You guys got any sort of Husker following out there?

A little, maybe. There's a Wisconsin following, though.
