The New York Post -- yes, the Post -- headline reads "Big Ten might pick Big Apple."
The subject is the Big Ten and Jim Delany. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this doesn't sound as though Delany is finished shopping.

"I consider the East Coast to be as important to us as the West Coast is even though the West Coast has got the Rose Bowl and the Big Ten-Pac-10 relationship," Delany added. "And it's so because of the recruitment of students, the recruitment of athletes, the size and scope of the markets. I hope it becomes more important."
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany talks with the media during a news conference, Tuesday, May 18, 2010, in Chicago. Delany addressed questions about conference expansion, sticking with the time frame he laid out in December when he said the league would explore its option over the next 12 to 18 months.
