Steal Cincinnati, Pitt, or Rutgers?  Or go further west and grab a Boise or a Utah?  Utah would make sense because they also have a respected basketball program.

Aside from "who gives a shit?"...what do you think?

The perfect fit would be Notre Dame.  Never happen though.

I want to say Rutgers was heavily interested in this a few months ago.  I can't really remember because no one gives a shit about the Big 10. 

The real question is - what will be the new name for the conference?

The Plodding Dozen?

Twelve Teams and a clump of dust?

Ice Age 12: Dawn of the Dinosaurs?

IMO, Notre Dame is the best choice but as Pell City stated... Cincinnati strong in basketball but football about to become IU in a year or so due to Kelly defection. Big East roundballers won't leave for Big 10 though I think WVU is the best choice. The western teams are a logistical problem.
