doc longhorn 2,092 Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 There is a twitter rumor that four teams of the B1G want to transfer to the Big 12 - Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State and Nebraska. A sportswriter claims he heard it from a really reliable source. Don't get your hopes up. It appears the germination of this rumor started when several AD's complained about how the B1G was handling Covid-19. Actual veiled threats were made. The CW is it simply ain't happening. Would be interesting, though, wouldn't it? Sirhornsalot and utparothed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it WERE to happen, it seems like now would be the time with things still not settled from a schedule point of view. Divide the conference into East-West divisions and play an 8+2 or 8+1 schedule. Add West Virginia and Iowa State to the East division. Wish it would happen, man that would be a great conference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HornEsch 704 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 I really don't buy that, but would not be opposed for sure. Would instantly make the Big 12 a premier league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But at least the person he's wrapping his arms around has been closely monitored, as opposed to his latest lady friend, who hasn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
