Big Ten Looking at Cash Grab....Ummm...I mean Expansion

>> Friday

Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delaney is interested in looking at expansion of the Big Televen by adding a twelfth team. He offered no candidates, but dropped the following clues for budding e-sleuths to decipher.

- We know from history that the Big Ten has thought about offering Big Ten Conference Membership to Notre Dame and Pitt.
- The new Big Ten Network, which is scheduled to launch Aug. 30, would benefit from an additional big-name university in a large television market, Delany said.
- "The broader (the network) is distributed, the more value (expansion) has. We have eight states. With expansion, you could have nine," (We'll assume this means states contiguous to the current Big Ten members.)

After examining the clues, I think I have it figured out.
The Big Ten is going to expand to include the New York Jets.

Let's face it, even if that's not what Jim Delaney is thinking, it's the only way to go. By adding the Jets, you already have a fanbase that has shown it can fill a stadium comparable to many Big Ten schools. The Jets likewise are a perfect fit because they've won more than 10 games only once in the last 20 years; they'd be right alongside teams like Illinois and Michigan State.

The Jets expansion would also add the largest major media market in the country to the Big Ten's network's current repertoire. It would add New Jersey and nominally New York into Jim Delaney's state expansion plan.

It's a perfect fit. I don't know how nobody else sees this besides me.

Boise State? I hear the Idaho market is just an explosion waiting to happen.

Probably not too far off what with all the right-wing militias out there.
