Big Ten Looking To Add More Teams

The Big Ten unofficially have thrown out some invitations to teams to join the Big Ten. Nebraska, Missouri, Notre Dame, Rutgers are just some of the names being tossed around to join the Big Ten. Those are some interesting names and the power of the Big Ten and what they can offer is very inviting to those schools. I do see maybe two of those schools jumping at the chance to join the Big Ten.

For Rutgers it would make perfect sense for them. They would get more revenue and a chance to draw from a wider base than they already do. Missouri is another school that may join also. The added revenue can help this school who could use the money as their sports team do not earn as much as other schools in the Big 12 does. Notre Dame joining would shock me as I just do not see why they would join. They have their own television contract and do not have to share any of their revenue. Notre Dame makes plenty of money on their own and just do not see them joining.

As for Nebraska it really makes no sense at all for them. Could they get more money that's a possibility, but I just do not see Nebraska leaving the Big 12 at least not right now. I look for Rutgers and Missouri to jump at the chance and you never know what other teams may have got offers as well. The Big Ten is getting better that will happen just a matter of how many teams it seems.
