Notre Dame and Rutgers to the Big Ten?

If Notre Dame finally says yes to the Big Ten, the league of Legends and Leaders would look to add a 14th school. Many that the conference examined before adding Nebraska -- Missouri, Pittsburgh, Syracuse -- have relocated, leaving Maryland and Rutgers.

Rutgers athletics director Tim Pernetti released a statement Tuesday, saying he is "extremely confident" that once realignment shakes out, the result with be "very positive for Rutgers."
