Texas, a dominant presence in many major college sports, is a force to be reckoned with both competitively and economically. Statistically, it seems that Texas has the earning potential to produce revenue the size of the very state they're named after. But after having success in the Big 12 conference especially when it comes to football (2010 title game appearance, 2005 national champions) could they be interested in a move?
The word on the street is that another traditional powerhouse conference, the Big Ten, is looking to add a 12th team to their lineup. Among other contestants like Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, and others, Texas oddly enough looks to be a front runner. This boggles my mind in terms of the location. Big Ten conference schools are concentrated primarily in the Midwest, making Texas' location both perfect for their current conference, and strange for the prospective Big Ten addition. In my opinion, Notre Dame should suck it up, drop their seperate broadcasting contract and independant label, and join up with a conference already!
