I'd love to see them in the Big East, but, right now, there is zero incentive for them to join a conference.

Didn't know that, I thought they were still on the deal that ended in 2010. Oh well, screw em.

The Big 10 is fine. I would like to see a 9 game league schedule, but no thanks to adding Notre Dame and a championship game. I'm still not sure why Penn State is in the league, to be honest.

Top 3 teams for average attendance, and 5 of the top 20, are Big 10. Clearly its relevant to somebody.

I favor adding Notre Dame to the Big Ten. And having a championship game. And I like having Penn State in the conference. Make it so.
