The fact they are more southern than any current Big 10 teams give them some points.
Cincinnati Bearcats?
Ohio State doesn't want another “Ohio” school and that market is already on the fritz with all Buckeye fans in the area.
Fat chance for “Cincy.”
The Mac teams are the little brothers of the Big 10, and none would be considered as they bring, essentially, nothing substantial to the table.
Fat chance part II.
Iowa State Cyclones are a natural rival for Iowa. They bring nothing to the table.
Nebraska Cornhuskers are arguably one of America’s football legends that has stumbled lately.
While they bring little to the pot as far as viewer revenues go, they are still, Big Red.
Odds are that the Big 10 will accept that collect call— a definite short list team.
Missouri is geographically not that far from the current schools, but then again neither is Kentucky.
They’re a program on the rise in football and a legitimate contender to win the Big 10 basketball title any year.
The St. Louis market is a bonus as well and odds are as good as Nebraska's.
Colorado Buffaloes are a major market in Denver and have been a top football program in the past, but recently in a rebuilding stage.
The program has had many problems and the Big 10 may decide they are too big of a risk.
