Sometimes a butterfly's wings can start a hurricane

It started innocently enough.  The Big 10, desirous of a conference championship, is looking to add a team.  Then, made 4 teams.  Or 5.  Those have to come from somewhere, and then those conferences double back  and try to find replacement teams.  The PAC-10 joins in.  And the football landscape completely changes.

Be prepared to think the unthinkable.  The Big East/ACC thing could end up being nothing.

Here's what the Orlando Sentinel said in its top flight college football blog.

The Big Ten and the Pac-10 said last week they would consider adding more teams. But the most intriguing possibility is whether the Big Ten goes “big” literally and becomes a 14- or 16-team league. One league source told the Chicago Tribune “anything is possible” when it comes to expansion. Essentially, everything is on the table.

That would change the face of college football, essentially forcing all the other conferences to attempt to expand to 14 or 16 teams. The strong conferences would become super conferences, the weaker ones would be weakened even further and become irrelevant. It would be a fight for survival.

Not saying the sky is falling....just saying that storm clouds are gathering.
