To be eligible to be in the big ten, the school must be a research school. Notre Dame isn't a research school so I doubt they could join. Given their academic prestige, I wouldn't mind if the rules changed to allow them in though.
The Big Ten has went after Notre Dame before....expect that the Big Ten will change the rule for the right fit.
aren't you a teacher? haha, seriously, we do need to add a 12th schools. Preferably one with good academics, and a good balance of good athletic teams. I.E. not just basketball and football, but soccer, volleyball, etc. How about a dark horse like Villanova?
isn't their football div 2? they're D1 FCS, but so was UConn and USF just a handful of years ago. villanova is a really good academic school, and they have a lot of really good sports.

they can't be playing playoff football this time of year.....

We do not need a 12th team. The Big Ten just needs to extend the season by two weeks like the big least and Pac 10. really just one week. The networks would love a Big Ten title game but not want a full conference slate. I think they did extend the season by one week and if we end it Thanksgiving weekend we will be all perfect. I am against a 12th team.

did did say darkhorse. haha. Although ND of all the schools mentioned, would be the best fit. Another school not mentioned is Butler. I don't know how their other sports are but I know their academics are pretty good, but I think if you consider a Darkhorse in all of this, it would be Butler. Their geographic is perfect, they have good acedemics, their basketball team has excelled and I think they are decent is some other sports. If you want to talk about darkhorses, talk about Butler.

Butler isn't even close to remotely fitting in the B10. It is a great school but is way too small. The best fit by all accounts (academia, location, sports, etc.) is ND.

I said ND the most likely choice. I was just talking about darkhorses. By the way, what is the enrollment of NW? Aren't they small like Butler?
