Nebraska to Big Ten

Texas and OU joining the Pac 10 to me makes as much sense as Michigan and Ohio St. joining the ACC.... I mean they are smack dab in the middle of the country joining a coastal Conference, just does not compute. Kind of like La Tech in their conference that is mostly on the western side of the country.

Where exactly is Missouri going? C-USA? The recent reports make it pretty clear the Big 10 doesn't give a damn about them. Trading Colorado and Nebraska for TCU and Utah would end up being a win for the Big 12. With the increased revenue, Utah and TCU, who have actually been better than Colorado and Nebraska of late anyways, would be able to retain their top notch football coaches and hire better basketball coaches. You're also adding even more Dallas-Fort Worth viewers and the Salt Lake City market to offset the loss of that massive Omaha market and the 10 people in Denver who care about CU athletics.

I would have to agree. From football viewpoint and athletics in general, not much of a loss if the rest commit to stay and add some quality area teams. TCU definitely a step up.

Syracuse is a private school, and a whole host of non-football Big East schools are private as well.

Understood. Did not know about USC and forgot Stanford....

WVU, Pitt, Uconn, Rutgers, Cincinnati, Louisville, UCF, Syracuse.

Which are private??? Just curious

Syracuse, St. John's, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Depaul, Marquette, Providence, Villanova and Notre Dame are all private. With the way conferences are poised to restructure, I would be surprised if the Big East could even survive as a basketball conference.

Clay's argument for A&M makes some sense. Yet somehow, I cannot help thinking that A&M in the SEC would be akin to adding Mississippi State's twin sister. Do they really have the wherewithall to compete with Bama, AU and LSU? Or are you just giving the West Division teams a new whipping boy? If I'm an East Division AD, there's no way in Hades that I'm going to vote for giving the West an A&M while a Clemson, Va Tech or FSU gets added to my division.

The east for now is weaker anyway and if they get more money due to picking up the right teams it would pass. I like the A&M point and if you toss in VTech we keep the crown even with less teams than a super sized PAC-10. Geographically those are 2 brand new markets without being too unrealistic for travel.

There is no doubt that Osbourne absolutely out maneuvered Catiglione and Dodds.

Yeah, going to a league where they are now the rootless interloper is a brilliant move by Steroid Tom. I'm sure Husker fans are thrilled to be trading their traditional games with Missouri and Colorado for battles with Indiana and Illinois.

Just imagine the atmosphere when Northwestern comes to Lincoln.

I certainly agree that the East is weaker right now, but historically there've been three upper tier teams in each division. I really don't want to see the balance shifted.

Pelini to his players about Ohio State: "That school there: I made them my first big time b---- when it counted the most. Let's make them our permanent b----, boys !"

I agree that those games will not thrill the fanbase.

But while Beebe brought in a $130 million in some whacked out revenue sharing model, the Big Ten brought in $242 million in revenue with translates into $22 million per team. That is why Nebraska is leaving and the Big 12 is in big trouble. They do not have a nationally recognized program to replace Nebraska in the North.

I don't have a membership to access the article. If someone will post a synopsis, I would appreciate it.
