Breaking news....
Since 1990 there have been 11 (count 'em, 11: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsin) teams in the "Big 10".
What kind of example does a conference set when the number of schools doesn't add up to the number of schools identified in the conference name? Notice I said name, not logo.

I HATE the University of Texas!

They need to add Notre Dame or PITT to make 12. Then have a championship game, and make it much more legit.

They won't do that. It took the conference forever to start moving the final weekend of the regular season to the Saturday after Thanksgiving -- starting next year.

Pitt is quite content to remain in the Big East and ND is a member of the Big East for all sports but football. ND will never join any conference in football so long as they have their own exclusive TV deal with NBC. They can have their cake and eat it too.
