i really hope Texas joins the Big Ten. Jim Delany had better be talking to Texas, OU and A&M. That would make a sick conference. Imagine OSU, Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska, OU, Wisconsin, Iowa and Possibly Notre Dame.

about not being close? who is actually close to texas anyways, doesnt texas fly to nebraska, iowa state, etc.. i believe there are major airline hubs in the majority of big ten markets. so non stop to detroit to play mich/ msu, nonstop to chicago to play illinois/northwestern, non stop to minneapolis, etc. its not about high school bus drives. texas plays nationally and a 2hour flight over an 1.5 hour flight isnt going to make any difference. its purely about developing the big ten network nationally and making almost every game a national game, not just a regional game. this will bring top dollars to texas, texas a&m, and i dare say notre dame when it gets its panties outta the bunch there in to join what will be the top conference in america. And texas wont dominate every year, id love to see texas in a night game in michigan stadium in november, u better put those cowboy hats away and where a parka.  what national recruit wouldnt want to come to the big ten and abandon the acc, big east and dare say sec to be seen nationally every game of the year!

so very sorry TEXAS will never ever play in the cold frozen tundra great lakes RUST BELT conference ! TEXAS will never play in the liberaland of fruit's and nut's on the left coast either ! all those baptist from the bible belt would be terrifed to be affiliated with the west coast ! they would really be affraid of loseing there tight ends ! beside we like our warm cozy palm tree mesquite paridise here on the gulf of mexico, the third coast ! all those texans rebels and confederates would burn austin texas to the ground if the LONGHORNS went north to yankee land or west to wierdoland !

So wrong, so stupid.

Actually not  a bad idea, sort of.  Add Texas, A&M, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska to the Big Ten. 

Wrong, wrong and wrong.  You are not so bright.

It's not really that amazing.  How do you think schools like Texas, Ohio State, USC, Florida etc. keep their winning traditions over the years?  How do you think they have the best coaches, facilities, equipment, and student-athlete acedemic programs in the country?  I'll tell you what, it's not their mascots or on-campus housing facilities. 

Heck, I know for a fact that the Ohio State athletic department GIVES MONEY TO THE UNIVERSITY every year, not the other way around.  How sick is that?

so very sorry ya'll TEXAS is not going anyware ! not to the cold frozen tundra great lakes RUST BELT conference ! we don't need you big ten ! we are already the big dog right here where we are at ! we love our warm cozy palm tree mesquite paradise here in the beautifull southwest ! beside all of the texans, rebels, and confederates would burn austin texas to the ground if the longhorns went north to join the yankee land or west to join the fudgePACer-x ! we would have to build a new campus and a new capital !

I dont think it will happen.

Do you know anything about football! yes as a conf. the Big 10 is midwestern but the Big 10 is trying to get out into other markets. Louisville would be a good fit for Basketball and opens the market a little more but look at all the studs that come out of Texas. Missouri does nothing for the Big Ten, they don't need another Purdue sorry.
