By then the Big Ten will have at least 14 schools, assuming Rutgers can trim the Big East's 27-month notification for departure. Some sources within the Big Ten believe the conference won't stop expanding until it hits 18.

With 14, the conference can start over on divisions and chuck "Legends and Leaders" into the hopper with new Coke and Segways. An East-West divide would be a celebrated departure from those cumbersome monikers.

I wouldn't mind seeing that happen, especially for the eventual collapse under their own weight that would happen. WAC part deux.

Before long, the term "conference" will be arbitrary, and the term "division" will hold more significance.

So what 4 teams would they add? (I didn't want to register for the Tribune so I could read that.)

Well, 18 half-assed teams is the same as 9 good ones, right? They would then be the equal of the SEC...

Nah, not really...
