Big Ten back to original expansion schedule

Because we need another thread on this:

In other words, no one knows exactly how fast the Big Ten would expand or which teams expansion wold include. Or whether the conference will expand to 12 or 14 or 15 or 16 teams. (Or maybe 64? Then the Big Ten could have its own NCAA tournament! Sweet!)

That made me laugh, though it's a bit scary too. Not because they will expand to 64, but if the Big Ten, ACC, SEC, and Pac-10 all expanded to 16, there's no reason the four of them couldn't throw their own 32 team tournament, or even just let everyone in for a 64 team tourney. I'd personally call it March Sadness
