Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 50483, member: 86"] ND is not going anywhere near the Big 12. Its BS propaganda from Texas..trying to leverage the Big East FB teams that it plans to invite. They want these BE teams to enter the conference with less than a full share. Right now, whichever team gets the nod as #10, has at least a moderate amount of leverage. Texas doesn't want the world knowing that the conference needs to go to 12 teams (it does eventually) and wants to preserve a bigger piece of the pie for themselves. That's why they're charading this "we only need 10" BS. They can do that for a year, maybe two, but they want the B12 championship game and more content for the TVs. Its a game of chicken - they want Lville and Cincy (#11 and #12) on some type of probationary membership. They know they can't do this with WVU (#10). The thing with ND is to make the entire league think its about to dissolve - immediately. [/QUOTE]
