So the general gist is that there's a user on Michigan's Rivals board who is believed to be in UM's Athletic Department. This person has claimed that the B1G will be expanding to 18 teams soon. And,
shocker, he's on twitter,

@Bluevodreal
Hearing B10 expansion rumors again.BTN TV deal up in 2016 with projection in first year 2017 of being roughly 44m per school. B12 in panic
And then he goes on about them wanting to get into big TV markets.
I also thought
this post by umbig11 was interesting from the comments:
"I posted a conversation I had with Scott Frost (UCF Head Coach) on that site this past Saturday. He was on my flight from Orlando to Atlanta. He said that more realignment was coming and that
some of the Power basketball schools were feeling left out. He went on to say that we can expect an expanded playoff well before the contract was up with networks."
Power basketball school feeling left out, huh?
Cue Conspiracy Kitty.
