cbarnett Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 According to ESPN, it's a possibility.... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5268408 It certainly will make the wrestling conference tourney that much stronger! Missouri/Iowa State to follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbulldog152 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 according to what I read last night Nebraska, Mizz, and Texas were interested in moving to the big ten. Texas is more likley to go to the Pac-10 though. though Iowa state would help the big 10 in wrestling the big ten is thinking about football. I'd like Iowa st coming in and it could start a conference rilvalry with Iowa. The thing is I haven't read any reports on Iowa trying to move to the big ten. from what I read if the big 12 splits 6 teams are going to the pac 10 neb is going to big ten with maybe mizz and the rest are moving to either mountain west or conf. USA wich are none wrestling confrences... if both mizz and neb come the big ten would still have uneven teams so it's hard telling. most reports I've read though said that if Notre Dame was to except going to the Big ten that would end neb coming... I dout that will happen though I'd like to see Notre Dame restart a wrestling program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all this shakes out, wouldn't it be funny if ND continues their arrogant independant stance and ends up getting screwed by waiting too long and not be able to hook in with one of the power conferences?

ND is too valuable to get left out of the mix. There's no way it will happen. If there ends up being four 16-team conferences, ND will have no chance but to join the Big 10. I really wish the Big 12 would have stayed intact, but I think Nebraska to the Big 10 makes sense. The Big 10 is going to be even tougher in wrestling and football.

MattM Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 12 teams isn't that bad of size of a compatative conference where all the teams regularly see each other. However, Midwest wise if they expand further, I'd like to see two more team added between Missouri, Iowa State, and ND. That would make the Big Ten a 14 team two division conference. I think anything larger than 14 is just to big in football terms. To me it would be hard to make a schedule which included enough of the teams from opposite divisions playing each other on regular basis to be worth having a 16 team divsion.

hammer Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I heard that Iowa St. won't be getting an invite to join the Big 10, based on their weaker academics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HN Vikes Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Does the Big 10 require every school to participate in every varsity sport the BT supports? Would that mean if ND joined the Big 10 they would have to start a wrestling program or any sport for that matter the BT requires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I wish they would join this year in wrestling so we could see Howe vs. Burroughs at the Big 10(12)'s in West Lafayette. Nebraska released their schedule recently and it had the Big 12s on there for this year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska stays in the Big 12 for next year then I believe they move to the Big 10 for the 2011-2012 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
