Dr. Saturday: Expansion and the 'superconference': A very long love storyThe Big East, having narrowly avoided the guillotine earlier this decade, can already see the writing on the wall for its existence as a major (BCS) football conference if the Big Ten poaches two or more of its members to form a 14 or 16-team juggernaut -- and possibly for its existence as a football conference, period, in the drawn-and-quartered fashion that did in the SWC. But even if the Big East is the most direct, obvious casualty of a Big Ten power grab, it doesn't take much creativity to imagine the dominoes falling in a pattern that crushes larger, seemingly more stable leagues.
See, for example, the Big 12, which lays prostrate from the major players in all directions: The trio or quintet of teams the Big Ten plans to bring aboard to become a 14 or 16-team conglomerate could easily include Missouri, a potentially disastrous departure that would cost the conference two of its biggest television markets, St. Louis and Kansas City. The North Division could be further ripped asunder by the Pac-10's courtship of Colorado (without whom Pac-10 expansion is not really possible) and possibly, if the sky seems to falling around it, Nebraska. To the south, the Miami Herald's Joseph Goodman isn't the first to see the SEC making a move for Texas and Texas A&M. Even if the imperialist plunderers leave Oklahoma, a conference anchored by Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Texas Tech obviously cannot stand as a "major" football league. And there are at least a few people already who think it won't, a victim of its demographic destiny.

Death of the Big XII?
The Big XII is reaping what it sowed. They’ve had ample opportunity to address the structural deficiencies of the conference, but they’ve never have the will to do. Imagine if it had been the Big XII who had jumped on the idea of a conference network first? Today, it would be the Big XII who was threatening to poach Iowa or Illinois or Arkansas. Instead, Dan Beebe seems to be sitting around waiting for the knives to come out. I hope the head office is doing something behind the scenes to try and prevent a plundering of the conference, but I’m not going to put any money on that.
In a way...
…this is one of the biggest reasons I want us to get a Big Ten invite. I know there are tons of drawbacks involved with going there, but this conference is most likely going to get poached in one way or another, and it’s a lot better to be on the train outta town if that happens.

It's really sad
With a bit of foresight, the Big XII would have been the power conference right now. Instead, they sat around at let the college football landscape change around them. I really wish that when this whole expansion thing had started that the Big XII had been proactive and made their own moves to expand, maybe by courting Utah or Memphis or some of the other Texas schools. Instead, they’ve just made the conference a target.
