Paterno: Expand Big Ten, but no Irish (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Joe Paterno says he'd like to see either Rutgers, Pittsburgh or Syracuse join the Big Ten. The Penn State coach also knows who he wants to keep out: Notre Dame. Paterno, meeting with reporters Wednesday at an alumni event near Allentown, has long pushed for Big Ten expansion. A 12th team could ease scheduling difficulties and clear the way for a lucrative conference title game.
