The only reason the BE isn't breaking apart is because nobody wants
their teams. You honestly think that any BE team would turn down such
an invite??

The closest thing they have to a major team, West Virginia, would leap
at the chance to join either the Big Ten or Atlantic Coast. They would
not even take a full day to think about whether or not to accept.

I don't give a flying fuck about the BE, but the idea that its members
would turn down invitations to join the B10 is hillarious.

What other reason is there? The BE doesn't exactly have a deep
football tradition as a conference.

I'm trying to think of a single reason a Big East team wouldn't
immediately accept an offer from the Big 10 ... can't think of one. And
i'm pretty smart, you know.

Rutgers has openly expressed interest since the conference added Penn

stating as such. Pitt has also expressed interest previously.

Yeah, I'm sure basketball really matters to the B10. That's why they
added Nebraska.
