Im not "stirred" up LOL.

I just wanted to know what we would get out of it.

God help all of you if they let the Aggies travel to Los Angeles or Columbus. Better have a place to put them thar doublewides....

LMAO! Excellent. Just make room for the chickens and 4 year old children in diapers drinking soda out of baby bottles and youve got yourself Aggie heaven!

Here's a wild thought on the expansion.....if Texas would leave, the Big 12 as we know it may just implode.....why stop at 1? What about a 14 team Big 10 and add Mizzou, Texas and Pitt

You could then set up a East/West split by conference that would be scary and a cash cow!
East
Penn St
Pitt (you can sub in Rutgers, Syracuse, or even ND here and still keep this split)
Ohio State
Michigan
Michigan St
Indiana
Purdue

West
Texas
Missouri
Iowa
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Illinois
Northwestern

Now that is a conference that can make some serious money and compete with the SEC IMO.

Excellent read. I hadnt considered all the non football positives.

We should join the Big 10 as soon as possible.

The lastest rumor is Rutgers, Notre Dame, and Boston College to the Big 10.
