Interesting. Could open the door for other teams to look around if it happens.

Maryland, Rutgers in serious talks about move to Big Ten Conference - Yahoo! Sports

From Yahoo! Sports: Maryland and Rutgers could join the conference as soon as next week.

I thought we might be done with conference realignment for a little while. That is interesting though. If that happens, perhaps the Big 12 would explore expanding.

Yeah, Florida State, Clemson, Louisville, and BYU were tossed around a lot in the off-season last year. If some ACC teams leave it could open those talks back up.

This could make for a very interesting post football season.

Perfect time for the Big 12 to reach out IMO. Try to get FSU, Clemson, Pitt, and Lousville.

I think if the Big 12 does make a move to expand, I believe Louisville would be it's first target. A football program that is heading towards where they were in the mid 2000s. Louisville also would bring a 1st class basketball program into the fold.

True, I think they would add teams in pairs though. Florida State was mentioned quite a bit last year and I think they are a no-brainer if the Big 12 gets a chance at them. Decent basketball program too, not the best but better than half of the Big 12 most years.
