I knew that Mizzou would not be welcomed into the Big10... this means that the Big10 is targeting the Big East as I type this.

This puppy is far from over.

This doesn't have anything to do with BE teams.  The B10 will stand pat for now.  They may bring in Mizzou later.  Actually, the Big 12 may stay together at 10 teams if you believe what you read today.  I don't see the B10 going past 12 for a while, maybe quite a while unless they get ND.

Exactly, I could see the B10 staying at 12 for a few years now.

Yes it does... the Big10 wants ND and the NY Market... which means Rutgers in addition to Cuse and UConn...

Currently right now the Big10 is really the Big12... ND would be #13, Cuse would be #14, Rutgers would be #15, and UConn would be #16. Also the Big10 gave ND an ultimatum... either join us or never play any of us again... ND will fold whether they want to or not... most of ND's big games are against Big10 teams.

First, we don't know for sure the Big Ten acutally made that threat - although they may have hinted at it.  And ND only plays three Big 10 teams - Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue.  I would say their "big" games also include USC, Navy, Stanford, and Boston College... "most" of their BIG games are outside the Big Ten.

I think the Big Ten is done expanding for now - possibly for good.
