began to analyze expansion. Five schools were specifially analyzed. The Chicago Tribune reported back then the following:
Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez stated last month that 15 schools he refused to identify were part of the initial study, but the Tribune reports that five universities were analyzed — Missouri, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Rutgers. The Tribune wrote that the source ” called those five “‘the obvious suspects’ and cautioned that other universities could earn consideration.”
So far, the B1G has replaced Missouri with Nebraska and has invited Rutgers and Maryland. They certainly still want Notre Dame. If ND goes to the B1G, the 16th team could be either SU or Pitt and the B1G is already in PA. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but SU has been on the B1G's radar for exapnsion for years.
