Big Ten Makes Official Offer
The Big Ten has asked Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Rutgers to the Big Ten. What does everyone think? I think the Big East will be just fine if this is the case. I also think they are expecting probably Notre Dame to turn them down. Wouldn't that put them at 15 teams if all four accepted which I would think they would ask one more team to get to 16 teams. It will interesting to see how this plays out.

If they go to 14, the BigEast will remain solid.
If they go to 16, the BigEast might take a hit. Rutgers isn't a stubstantial loss (average in football, bad in basketball) and Notre Dame has played the Big East as a loser since its inclusion (all sports in BE besides football). As many have mentioned, I'd like to see if we can't cherry pick an ACC team (Boston College?) and add UCF, depending on what teams defect. |

I could definitely see Boston College leaving the ACC. I have heard multiple times that they have not been happy since they left the Big East. I think that would be a great pickup for the Big East. |

If it happens this way and the Big 12 loses 2, who do you think they look to add? There's no way they are happy with only 10.

They may have offered, but it doesn't mean it's finalized. Recruits get offered, then denied later. I would call it a soft offer unless I hear different. If they could find a way to get Texas, ND, and another team to join the Big10, then it would trump the above by about 10 fold.
I could see Texas and ND possibly joining if they get specific allowances given them. But who knows. |

Is there an official offer? I thought these were still rumors out of Mizzu

I honestly don't think anything is official until the school and the BigDigit comes to an agreement. Until then, there will be a state of flux with them vying for ND. Everything else is probably secondary, to be honest. Nebraska would help with ratings to be sure, but the rivalries are virtually non-existent...and would be manufactured.

Andy Katz was on some ESPN program discussing this and said he had a source who has direct contact with this whole thing say "Think outside the Box" in terms of possible other teams. Teams mentioned were Maryland, GT, and Vandy. I would love to watch the tripple option in the Big Ten. Easily my second or third favorite team

I think that Georgia Tech, Maryland, Boston College and Vandy all make more sense than Syracuse or Pitt.
