Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 432220, member: 895"] Most definitely not. The Big Ten always planned on expanding to 16(ish). But previously, it hoped to do so with Notre Dame and a less-is-more approach if it could first hit the home runs. All Notre Dame to the ACC did is changed how they would fill the spots. This isn't about revenge (though I think it's a byproduct in the Big Ten's eyes). This is about expanding their footprint which has been the conference's No. 1-goal since they announced expansion plans in December 2009. All the Notre Dame decision did is changed how they need to go about getting there. [/QUOTE]
