i was reading a lot into this and it seems like theres only 3 possible choices. Not as simple as there good at football they can join.
because of all the academics and prestige it really can only be mizzou and pitt besides the obious Notre Dame but im thinking they might catch too much slack to join.
logistics i guess its mizzou but it makes no sense why they would leave the big 12 north sports wise. And i was reading into something about pitt but i guess Joe Pa is really against having them join.

Penn State joined the Big Ten Conference in June of 1990 and its addition has been an unqualified success. In 1993, 1998 and 2003 the COP/C, in coordination with the commissioner's office, reviewed the issue of conference structure and expansion. The COP/C believes that the timing is right for the conference to once again conduct a thorough evaluation of options for conference structure and expansion. As a result, the commissioner was asked to provide recommendations for consideration by the COP/C over the next 12 to 18 months.
The COP/C understands that speculation about the conference is ongoing. The COP/C has asked the conference office to obtain, to the extent possible, information necessary to construct preliminary options and recommendations without engaging in formal discussions with leadership of other institutions. If and when such discussions become necessary the COP/C has instructed Commissioner James E. Delany to inform the Chair of the COP/C, Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon, and then to notify the commissioner of the affected conference(s). Only after these notices have occurred will the Big Ten engage in formal expansion discussions with other institutions. This process will allow the Big Ten to evaluate options, while respecting peer conferences and their member institutions. No action by the COP/C is expected in the near term. No interim statements will be made by the Big Ten or the COP/C until after the COP/C receives the commissioner's recommendations and the COP/C determines next steps, if any, in this area.

They wanted Notre Dame, but Notre Dame told them to fu@k off a few years ago.
So now they want to see if they still have a chance to get Notre Dame ... and if Notre Dame might be persuaded again ... that's all there is to it.
Its a guy who asks a girl to go out with him, the girl tells him to fu@k off, ... he won't ask again but wants to know if he can still has a shot to skank the little bi!ch.
