Judoka Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Nothing really new that we don't already know at this point, but here is ESPN's Pat Forde's speculation on what he thinks will happen in the coming months. ESPN Video Is it me or does Forde look like a muppet from Sesame Street? Quote Link to comment

This could go either way for us. If we end up in conference with UT and A&M but wit a lot less nearby teams to cmpete for Texas talent, it my help us. Right now we share with lot of schools, it coul make us a little hige on some lists. Of course one never knows, if we end up in a Texas free conference, that hurts our recruiting...

BigRedMan Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 If we did join the big 10, what year would we officially be part of it? Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 If we did join the big 10, what year would we officially be part of it? Well they didn't bother to change it before so maybe they will just keep it the big 10. Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Big Ten quashes latest expansion rumors By RUSTY MILLER, AP Sports Writer Rusty Miller, Ap Sports Writer Tue May 11, 7:02 pm ETCOLUMBUS, Ohio Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany e-mailed conference officials Tuesday to stamp out a rumor that four schools had already been offered a chance to join the league. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith confirmed Tuesday that Delany had quashed a report that the Big Ten had offered expansion spots to Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Rutgers. Asked if there was anything to that speculation, Smith said, "Nothing. There's no truth to it whatsoever. Actually, Jim sent us all an e-mail telling us there's no truth to that which we knew. There's no extensions of offers that have been made, so that's not true." The conference is looking at expanding from its current 11 members so that it can extend the reach of its lucrative cable network and add a league championship game in football. The Big Ten athletic directors will meet May 17-19 in downtown Chicago. They will be joined by faculty representatives, senior women's administrators and the head coaches in football and men's and women's basketball. But Smith said the meetings were routine and nothing would be decided in terms of expansion. "This is our normal meetings, the ones we have every year," Smith said. "Jim (Delany) will probably give us an update on what the consultant has shared, and I don't even know if the consultant report is done. He'll give us an update and then move on doing what he's been doing. I think they meet with the (university) presidents in June or something like that. So the timeline hasn't changed, but there won't be any action next week." Note that no one denied that offers would be made - just that they haven't been as of now. Quote Link to comment

That is different from asking what the answer would be were on to be made.... Doesn't matter, Mizzou is gone, you guys probably too. All the people are saying all the right things...

HUSKER 37 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 If we did join the big 10, what year would we officially be part of it? Well they didn't bother to change it before so maybe they will just keep it the big 10. 2012 The end of the World as we know it? But, seeing as they're s'posed to be pretty good Colleges, They still have shown the inability to count past Ten without unzipping their pants...My Ex used to hate that joke. My guess... we'll be called the Big Ten and fight it out for the rest of the order. Either that or the "Double Secret Probation 16" Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 If we did join the big 10, what year would we officially be part of it? I know we are in contract with the Big 12. The big 12 has a pretty stiff buy out clause. If we were to leave while contracted the fee is like 50-100% of tv revenues. I'm not sure when the contract expires but idealy we would leave without having to pay that fee. Quote Link to comment

irafreak Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Maybe TO is just starting all these rumors to put the heat on Texas. Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 i say we bring kansas with us. KU would boost the basketball image for the conference along with Syracuse. Being a KU grad, I would love this but like huskernation0201 said, KU and KSU are a package deal. You can't have 1 without the other. Quote Link to comment
