Not at this time. They may down the road, but for now they're going to keep it at 10. They will play 9 conference games in FB and 18 round robin games in MBB. This makes ISU's schedule freaking brutal, but I'm just happy the Big XII stuck (mostly) together - for exposure, revenue and competition reasons.

I hope (though I've heard absolutely no reports in this regard) that they decide to add TCU and SMU/Houston to the South and move Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the North.
This super conference stuff might be over with for now. The Pac-10 will still need to add one more team so they can have a conference championship.

TCU would be a good choice.
it's a longshot, but arkansas and notre dame to the big 12 would make it interesting.

I'm not excited about the prospects of Utah joining the Pac-10. But I'm not sure who I'd rather have.

Well, I'm pretty concerned at this point that the four northern Pac-10 schools just got royally screwed, but we'll wait and see how it plays out.

Nah, you'll have Colorado in your division. As long as they have Dan Hawkins coaching, it'll be a somewhat easy W in FB.

Hey, now, be careful there! Seriously though, not worried about playing the Buffs although it pains me to see them so down (I grew up in Denver - lived there from age 7 to age 18), but, again, rumor has it they were promised the south division (hopefully not true) which means we wouldn't play the Southern Cal schools as often. That could mean much less tv exposure which hurts in terms of money and recruits. Not saying that's what will happen, but I'm a little concerned.

The Pac-10 is now the Pac-12. Utah receives the coveted 12th spot. Good for them. The underdog wins one.
So the Pac-10 has 12, the Big 10 has 12 and the Big 12 has 10.

After reading about the possible ways to split the conference, which way do you think is better? North South or East West?

I guess we should change our name to the Big 14?

ETA: Although yay for more AXiD chapters in my conference! We just colonized at Maryland this fall...(and a little off topic but Michigan State is re-colonizing Fall 2013!)

The logo already says Big 16, so which schools are waiting in the wings to join??

Am I missing something?

I'm not thrilled about either addition. I rather would have seen Notre Dame join. Whatever.

So disappointed with what the Big Ten is doing. We're a Midwestern conference and very proud of it. Maryland? Rutgers? Please. Nothing against anyone from those schools, but all of this conference realignment is just absolutely ridiculous. 
I could have seen Notre Dame, Missouri, etc. Nebraska made sense as did Penn State. But this trolling the east coast for new cable markets is insulting.
But then TPTB stopped caring about what the fans think a looooong time ago.

I am purist and this is killing me. I was willing to cave in for Penn State, they fit in with the Big Ten well. Then I was ok with Nebraska. I am less ok with Maryland, too far east. I wanted Mizzou when Nebraska came. But NO on Rutgers, the Big Ten is not New Jersey. The campus just does not have the same feel and appearance. Color me underwhelmed.
