re: Interesting take on Big Ten expansion..prob. the best explanation.

yea, that 'article' is written with a heavy dose of big10 kool aid.. the guy thinks that everyone is dying to get in the big ten.. i guarantee the big 10 settles for one of the Pitt/Cuse/Rutgers schools..

this part is fricking hilarious..

there’s absolutely no doubt that Texas would deliver the Big Ten Network to every single cable household in the Lone Star State. The market impact is incredible – the Big Ten, which already has the largest population base of any conference, would further increase such base by over 1/3 with Texas to over 90 million people.

his ignorance of everything outside of the big10 footprint is very evident.. the state of Texas is no lock step Longhorn state.. its more split than Florida or California.. while Texas may have the biggest fanbase, A&M, Tech, Baylor, TCU, Houston, UTEP, SMU, etc have their own fanbases that dont crossover like he states the Cincinnati market does.. hell, the DFW metro area probably breaks down with 1)Oklahoma, 2)Texas, 3)A&M..
