Most of you probably know that the Huskers are Big 10 bound. Now, it appears that Texas and Texas A&M are as well. And Oklahoma to the SEC? http://www.kctv5.com/sports/23860558/detail.html

Omaha -- I thought this would all fall on the Huskers' shoulders, but it looks (time-wise) like those darn Buffs (CU) jumped first to the PAC-10?? I had heard the talk of TX and TX A&M to the PAC-10, so your link is quite interesting (new news!).

Yep. I have an incredible disdain for the Buffs. More so than any other team, so they can go wherever they like. But you're right, with all the speculations going around about Texas and Nebraska and Notre Dame and ….., it's Colorado who made a move. Interesting, but it certainly got the ball rolling and now it seems like everyone's interested in getting something done. Should make for an interesting weekend.

Apparently the Texas legislature isn't going to put pressure on UT and A&M to take Texas Tech and Baylor with them wherever they go, so that opens up more options. I hope that TAMU and UT go to the Big-10, this would given them access to the CIC and provide a real boost to academics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_on_Institutional_Cooperation(I'm a Texas A&M alum)

This sounds like it might get wild. Bets on how long it takes congress to jump in the fray. No political rants just your guess.

You get your news from PB too TJ? Colorado, Texas, A&M, Tech, Oklahoma, and OKState all look to possibly be going to the Pac-10. That's the latest, but it's still all speculation of course.

I will miss OU - a program I respect highly and whose fans are largely knowledgable and appreciate football regardless of the outcome of the game [like NU fans]. I will miss KU, especially the opportunity of playing against Turner Gill over the next decade, and watching their incredible BBall teams. I will miss beating KSU and CU. I will miss watching the resurgence of TAMU under Mike Sherman, they also have a nice baseball and basketball team going. I will miss watching Baylor's athletic program improving in Baseball, football and bball. OSU has developed entertaining offensive teams, ISU - you can't help but root for the perennial underdog, and MU...we get to trade barbs with the Missouri contingent of PBers. Mike Leach teams are always a blast to see spread the field and rack up yardage and touchdowns.
I am happy to lose UT - we've lost what, 8/9 to them? I love the challenge - they are a crazy successful program and I like coach Brown and Auggie, but 4 last second losses are hard to swallow - reminds me of Oklahoma in the 80's.
I am happy to have the opportunity to join a league with higher academic standards, and the opportunity to play tradition rich programs like Michigan, Penn St, and Ohio St. We'll likely get spanked on the hardwood, but we should compete annually in Football and Baseball for the league title.
Oh...and our rifle and bowling team are pretty solid, too!

why are they all leaving, what happened, whats going on? Nebraska to the Big 10??? others might be coming??? big ten network rocks, you get to see all the games!
to be honest I dont want any of your other crumby teams infiltrating my league of awesomeness.
I am Big 10 to the core, but havent watched the news or papers since algae started growing and fish started needing new homes.

I'm confused on whether it's the Fighting Illini or the Hoosier's powerhouse football programs we're insulting by even taking the field. Honestly, no one in the state had even considered leaving the league to my knowledge...I understand your sentiment. How are you going to feel when/if UT or TAMU rolls in too?

Good point...the Gators have something special going on down there, my hat's off to the program.
I guess the Big Ten saw something they like in NU football, and I'm surprised no one in NE has been too heartbroken about the move.

Its an upgrade for Nebraska no doubt. But then comes basketball season. Gonna be a whole lot of learning when that happens. MU started this crap with rumors and all. In typical MU fashion, there was nothing to it. Now they are out in the cold for now.

back to re-arranging the deck chairs. (refer to Ewest's post) Miss State Bulldogs would win the national championship if they didnt have to play in the SEC. FB and BB. Haven't kept up with their LaCrosse program lately. I'm sure Stoops is chomping at the bit to come to the SEC west.

yeah I guess the Kansas situation is much worse than us having to accept a stray program or two into our profit sharing league.

Big 12 is asking for a contract from the schools. Not sure they'll get that, definitely not from Texas. But that sounds like they're hoping to stay intact, even though Oklahoma is supposedly aggressively looking to make a move out.
