5:12 p.m. Update

The Lawrence Journal-World has confirmed reports that Nebraska University is headed to the Big Ten.

"It's a done deal," a source said Wednesday.

Reports of Nebraska's most recent intentions first surfaced early Wednesday morning and continued to grow throughout the day. Multiple reports have indicated that NU will make a formal announcement Friday.

The loss of the Cornhuskers leaves the future of the Big 12 up in the air but at least one person from Kansas University said Wednesday that he didn't believe Nebraska bolting spelled the end for the Big 12.

"Our league's not dead (if we lose Nebraska)," KU men's basketball coach Bill Self said. "It would be nice if we could keep Nebraska but our league will fight hard. Of course we probably need to do some things and be very aggressive in doing them but it's not dead."

Yep.

The last six weeks of "bat shit crazy" have built to a crescendo, and the orchestra leader's about to have a ****ing heart attack.

the sec would jump on clemson and GT most likely if the big 10 was sniffing around...they'd prefer to do nothing, but may not have a choice


i live in sec country, heard a caller today say the sec should take GT and KU because the conference needs better basketball....the hosts agreed....


now, i know, the the sec isn't going after ku...but it will get crazy if the pac 16 is true...

It would be nice, but I'm not holding out hope, at all. For those who do want to be glass-one-percent-full, I did read that Florida will resist adding Miami or FSU because they use SEC membership as an in-state recruiting advantage, and the SEC isn't sure what they would do for the conference if they already have Florida's flagship school.

That said, there's probably tons of other options they could go to before Kansas.

Mr. Laz 06-09-2010 04:28 PM

i'm surprised that Texas is willing to go to the PAC-10

PAC-10 must be bending over

I pretty much am, there's too much smoke between the PAC-10 expansion authorization, the ultimatum, and no one really denying it.

In the end, Nebraska will be known as the school which finally killed one of the most successful (on the field) conferences in the country.

You better start praying. There's a source in an ESPN story saying that Mizzou is getting a cold shoulder right now.

I'm not either, if it's just NU leaving.

I'm at 80 posts a page and this thing jumped 4 pages in the time I was at physical therapy.

So, I'm catching up - maybe someone can answer this for me...

If only NU is leaving, why the **** would Texas want to abandon their sweetheart deal and go to the Pac10?

I can't imagine it would be more lucrative there than it would be to just pick up a 12th team to replace NU and just continue to rape the other 11 schools financially, as they are doing now.
