Conference Realignment Thread: New B1G divisions

[Shorty]

PSU is not leaving the Big 10.

 

[JamesSokolove]

That article makes an awfully good case

 

[YoungBuck95]

I would absolutely love Penn state and Notre Dame

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

Penn State would be an excellent addition.

 

[ManhassetDeac]

If we get PSU, we could get ND.

I see it kind of the other way around. We could only get PSU from the Big 10 if we we were bringing in ND.

Pipe dream

There are more Penn St alumni in ACC territory than in Big 10 territory.

You would think they would have asked the SEC before submitting an application. :laugh:

Lets grab PSU

 

[The Evil Deacon]

I would love to have PSU & ND, but I doubt that is ever going to happen. I hope I'm proven wrong.

 

[BobStackFan4Life]

Penn State would be a hundred times better than Rutgers.

 

[RJKarl]

PSU and UConn would give one football and one basketball school....

Sounds like it is on hold until A&M clears all hurdles.

Anyone know where the UConn message boards are? The rivals and scout boards have little traffic.

I think this just split off recently.

"ND should go to the ACC and fast"

Pete Thamel of the NYT reporting the BE will hold Pitt and SU to June 2014 exit.

 

[herestowakeforst]

^ jerks

 

[TBR]

The Big East will either be dead or vastly differently by then. No way the June 2014 date holds. Those former B12 schools they are hoping to add will need a conference for the 2012-2013 athletic season.

Pete Thamel of the NYT reporting the BE will hold Pitt and SU to June 2014 exit.

Can they do that if they no longer exist?

If the BE hopes to survive, they'll need the lame duck schools out of the way as soon as possible.
