Expansion (What-ifs)

[GoldyPush-Ups]

If you're bored and have some time to waste:
Just an article about possible expansion scenarios and what it might mean for the basketball realm. I think the author exaggerates a bit much, but I can see some of his points.

Notre Dame makes sense to me though I also like Missouri. Might be tricky breaking into two divisions but here is one possibility.

I don't like the idea of more than 12 teams. I think the number of teams in the Big East has ruined it. IMHO.

East

Penn State
Michigan
Michigan State
Ohio State
Purdue
Indiana


West

Notre Dame/Missouri
Wisconsin
Iowa
Minnesota
Illinois
Northwestern

The East would be loaded for basketball, and football. But having mizzou and ND in the west would make it a little more even.
