The most interesting part? Forde speculates that the moves by the Big Ten could cause tectonic shifts across the entire college sports world. The ACC and SEC won't be able to stand by as the Big Ten is active and will look to expand themselves. The Big 12 and Big East could be cannibalized in the feeding frenzy. Notre Dame might have to join up because no one else would be left to play against. Bowl game tie-ins would be disrupted. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Or maybe not. However, if the Big Ten goes to 16 teams, I think it should actually change its name to the "Super 16" and get a new logo similar to Three Doors Down:
Okay, they probably won't do that, on account of the kryptonite jokes, and maybe licensing, but it would sure make for a cool uniform patch.

Any time a post can get a Bill Murray or "Ghostbusters" reference worked in makes for a good read.
Man, talk about summer blockbusters. What's bigger, the college football realignment or the signing/trading of LeBron James to...NY, Chicago, ???
As great a player as LeBron is, I think it would have to be the Big Ten thing. It could just be my bias against the NBA, but LeBron is still just one player. The Big Ten expansion could significantly alter the landscape of college sports for a generation. That's a big deal.
