The Big Ten is preparing for a massive expansion that could see it grow from 11 to 16teams and it could take as many as four, possibly five teams from the Big East to make it happen.
If it does, it could leave the Big East on life support.
If Syracuse, Rutgers and Pitt bolt for the Big Ten, Big East football could be dead as early as the start of the 2012 season. It could leave Louisville, Cincinnati, Connecticut, West Virginia and South Florida scrambling to merge with the best teams from Conference USA to form their own hybrid league.
