So I haven't seen this rumor at all... But if there turn out to be 4 mega conferences for football that decide to also accept a few non-football schools, why not lobby to be in the Big 10?  It seems that Nova is applying to the ACC without football. 

I'd love to see us in the Big 10, to re-ignite some of the natural regional rivalries.  To me, this would be a step down from our current Big East situation, but the smallest step down we could take.

If it's not possible... Ed-ja-ma-cate me.

No chance.

And I believe Villanova applied to the ACC as a full member.

GOO

Not possible and not even worth discussing. Very different schools and missions.  If they wanted to consider doing this, they'd go for schools outside the current reach of the Big 10 (e.g. Georgetown, Nova, etc).  But they won't even consider that.

This is so not-even-in-the-realm-of-possibility that I'm embarrassed as an MU fan that it keeps being mentioned as a scenario.

GGGG

The Big Ten has zero incentive to take Marquette.  Just another mouth to feed that isn't worth the dinky marginal revenue it would bring them.  The BTN is already in every cable line-up in the Milwaukee area.

UW would fight this Big Time as it would hurt their instate recruiting

Litehouse

The only reason the Big Tweleven expands now is if they can grab a new market big enough to force the local cable providers to add the BTN and bring in an extra $25M or so.  Otherwise they're just splitting the pie more ways.

Well, there's 10 schools that applied.  We know of 2 definitely that have.  
It would be interesting if 'Nova were accepted.  
And to add to the speculation fire - Isn't it possible that Marquette applied to the ACC as well and is playing it close to the vest?  
I'm like a turtle, sometimes I get run over by a semi.

non-ripe

First time this has been mentioned.

Doubtful, but interesting. And a more likely scenario to be a non-football school in the ACC than a non-football school in the Big 10.

bilsu

I do not see any mchance of a non-football school getting into ACC, Big 10, Pac 10 or ACC.

Strange, then, that they didn't fight the Buzz Williams hire...

When is somebody going to start the Marquette to the SEC thread?

No way Nova gets accepted to the ACC for its football progrem. The ACC will poach UConn and Rutgers before it even looks at Nova.

If the sources on Pitt's anger over the BE considering Nova for football over Central Florida or other programs, the irony would be wonderful if the ACC added Nova after taking in Pitt.  In other words, it ain't gonna happen.

Pakuni

Big 10? Pfft. Why aim so low.
I'm thinking a 12-team superconference of Marquette, Duke, UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA, Arizona, UConn, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan State and Georgetown/Villanova (whoever asks more nicely).

Too bad, Cuse and Pitt. You lose.

Way ahead of you...someone started a "Marquette independent" thread, so the board has skipped approximately 5 levels of crazy.
