This is a crazy time for college football. The rumor around here has been Utah and Colorado to the Pac 10 unless Texas opts in to the Pac 10.
If the golden domers go to the Big X+1 then they might stop at expanding to 12 but I doubt it. I think the Big 11 picks up Rutgers, Missouri. They are after viewers and that gets a large
I just don't see Texas going to the Pac 10. Texas likes to control and they have that in the Big 12. So if the conference doesn't lose too many teams it should stay in tact. Nebraska would probably will stay, and even if they lose two teams they could be replaced. TAMU has stated they don't want to deal with Pacific time zone and would prefer the SEC.
Hopefully the conferences don't get too large too quick.

I don't understand why Rutgers gets mentioned in this discussion all the time. They don't bring in viewers, nobody watches them now and tht wouldn't change. There's this illusion out there that Rutgers would bring in the NYC market, but it's simply not true. NYC is a pro sports town, college games are on everywhere every saturday but they're being watched by alumni from schools all over the country. People who don't have an alumni connection here generally aren't college football fans.
If you really want the NYC market bring in NYU and Columbia, ship them a bunch of players and wait two years.
