frank the tank has become the mel kiper of conference expansion. that's not supposed to be a compliment.
The obstacle with Syracuse has been that Syracuse insists on playing BBall in the Big East. When it really boils down to it, Syracuse isn't exactly eager to join the Big 10. They are doing just fine in the Big East. Big 10 and its fans appear to be under the impression that schools are just itching to join their conference and that just isn't the case.
