Rumor this AM is that BigTen is targeting 4 schools:
Oregon, Stanford, UNC, Notre Dame

As much as people are downers on this board, our name continues to come up for Big10 expansion.

Yes, that's what I've been seeing.  As much as some Cardboarders insist its all about money and Fox Sports controls everything, I don't agree with that.  Don't all Big 10 members have to sign off on adding members.  If they do, they are academic institutions and college presidents do have some consideration for academics.  Also Notre Dame might have a preference for Stanford.  Of course it's all speculation.
