Big Ten Statement on Expansion
Well, there you go. Let the games begin.
"The COP/C has asked the conference office to obtain, to the extent possible, information necessary to construct preliminary options and recommendations without engaging in formal discussions with leadership of other institutions. If and when such discussions become necessary the COP/C has instructed Commissioner James E. Delany to inform the Chair of the COP/C, Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon, and then to notify the commissioner of the affected conference(s). Only after these notices have occurred will the Big Ten engage in formal expansion discussions with other institutions."
Does MSU's president having an enhanced role in this process make any difference? Also, has there ever been a clunkier acronym for a deliberative body than "COP/C" (Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors)?

MGoBlog is way too efficient. Case closed for Pitt? (I supposed Pitt gets to have a say, too, though.)

My dream team
would be Mizzou. As a plus, their Chancellor has said they’d be willing to listen to an offer.
Light a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day.
Light a man afire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
A second Ohio team would have been great
I liked Pete’s suggestion in his old site of going with Miami U. Though I guess this AAU membership “requirement” may be an issue, plus I have no idea about the size of their facilities, number of sports, etc. Sinks in with hockey, though.
