Big Illini fan, and can’t wait for the game this weekend. Going to be a big test for the Illini against a good team. I think they are very close but I give Illinois the edge because they are at home. What do you think?

Here’s one more Nebraskan who loves the Big Ten and its–our–network!

Arlyn, the Big Ten would gladly take Notre Dame but they have their own network deal and aren’t in a hurry to join a conference.
As for the others, some are great for athletics but facilities or academics aren’t on the level of the rest of the Big 10. And with schools from Oklahoma or Kansas trying to stay together, it complicates things.
Iowa State, Missouri, Kansas, and Kansas State would probably jump at the chance to join the Big 10 if invited.
Most schools committed to facilities upgrades to meet the FOX sports contract. Iowa State already has bonds to pay off, KState has projects underway or soon to be, and Missouri has donors withholding funds until they see what conference they end up in.

Michigan State will play with confidence to beat Notre Dame. They are ready to spoil Notre Dame perfect 0-3 record. Michigan State will be a long shot to win the Big Ten Conference Football title. Michigan will beat Ohio State, This year, they will win the Division Champions and play in the Championship game in Indianapolis.

Why don’t the Big 10 scoop up Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Notre Dame and make a super 16 Conference and not wait until the Pac 12 scoops them up. Let the Pac 12 have the cry baby Texas teams.

Another Nebraska fan that loves having a network for the entire conference… as opposed to a network for Texas.
Greed killed the Big 12.
Will the last member of the Big 12 please shut the door on the way out.
