[QUOTE="sufan, post: 419617, member: 262"]
Good post. It appears MD approached the Big 10 and it seems clear that RU's application to the Big 10 goes back to 2010. In that sense, the Big 10 acted opportunistically as did the SEC when A&M approached them.
 
Seems like there are several huge possibilities that would trigger additional expansion for the Big 10, but each currently seems unlikely.
 
1) anything involving U of Texas; doubtful.
2) anything involving ND; doubtful
3) anything involving UVA/UNC; doubtful.
 
For the SEC: their TV channel is supposed to start in 2014: with a possible large/huge payout increase:
that could create pressure on the UT LHN along with A&M success in playing against major SEC teams.
 
It also remains to be seen how large the payouts for teams in the new playoffs and championship game will be.
 
 
However, the ACC 6 teams of UNC, Duke, NCSU, Wake, UVA, VT seem very close along with GT and Miami, not to mention the northern schools.
 
So the question is what or who triggers the next move?
 
FSU might want to join the SEC but does the SEC want them or does FSU want to join a conference located in TX/OK?
