Previously, they have examined and rejected Louisville, Rutgers, Syracuse, Missouri, and Nebraska.

By adding Butler, the Big 11 gets access to the all important Indianapolis market in terms of television and recruiting. The travel is not very onerous because teams could either put a team on a bus or van, or fly. It sure beats traveling to University Park for a Tuesday night volleyball game.

Butler already offers football but would need to increase expenditures; a small price to pay to join the Big 11. All games could be played at the Lucas Oil Dome. So Butler has that going for them, which is nice.
