[NU Sports] FW: a view of Big Ten expansion

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

One of the more interesting articles I've seen on the subject.

I'm not advocating expansion at all (it's somewhere after the B(C)S on the evil list :) ) ... but he makes a point that UConn would offer more than the Rutgers or Syracuse names that are tossed about. And what we'd get in hoops prestige, they'd get in football prestige to make both somewhat happy. It's not much further than Piscata ... Punxataw ... wherever the heck New Jersey State University is :) and it doubles the megamarket with Boston and NYC.

The second option with the Big XII is far less appealing, as the KU without KSU thing could wind up being like the UVa but not VaTech political hot potato ... besides, if you go that route, go with my Big Ten east/west one.:)

Thanks for the article -- the talk was hot for awhile but quieted down suddenly ... either the Big Ten folks are focusing on an outstanding basketball season, someone in the front offices muzzled Barry Alvarez ... or they're up to some serious talking behind closed doors.:)

GO CATS!!!
