Big Ten trying to add North Carolina?

The Big Ten was simply the Big Ten from 1950 to 1990 when Paterno State (Penn State) crashed and made it eleven.� Eleven became twelve when Nebraska joined in 2011.� Twelve will become fourteen when Maryland and Rutgers (yes, that Rutgers) will invade next year.� And it isn?t stopping there. According to Jeff Ermann, publisher of InsideMDSports.com, North Carolina has an offer on the table to be 15 and a 16th would be in lockstep or right behind them. Why North Carolina?� One, it would bring a huge brand to the conference.� Two, Jim Delany, the Big Ten commissioner, is a UNC alum.� Three, who wouldn?t want North Carolina in their conference? Speculation is that a 16th team would have to come too and the early reported favorites are Georgia Tech, Virginia and Virginia Tech.� Georgia Tech would be the most likely because Atlanta would immediately become the B1G?s second-largest television market.
