As much as all of this excites me (not that it necessarily will personally affect me or anything, just the idea of all this change is interesting), I still think there are too many moving parts for a huge change to occur. You've got the Notre Dame issue, you've got Baylor to the Pac-10, which no one but Baylor people wants to happen, you've got the Big 10 not necessarily shooting for 16 teams, etc.

The thing I don't understand is if NU and MU declare on Friday or sometime next week that they're leaving the Big 12, they aren't doing that without a solid gold promise that they'll be taken by the Big 10. But if the Big 10 really wants ND first and foremost, and their best scenario is ONLY ND, how do the NU and MU moves make any sense? The way this is playing out, there doesn't appear to be a way for the Big 10 to end up with just ND. Not without a whole lot of backstabbing and reneging, anyway.
