cornhuskers4ever Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just watching ESPNU, and at approximately 7:32 Pat Ford (or Horde) something like that, said that an offer has been made or an invitation has been given to Nebraska and Missouri by the Big 10. In addition, the Pac 10 has been given the go ahead to expand and the Texas schools are saying they want Baylor to be the 6th team. Guess it's going to be the Big XII South heading out. Sorry if this is more of the same, but I just felt like giving info I heard that it's becoming more official. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well, technically Nebraska and any other school would have to apply to the Big 10 and go through an acceptance process. The best thing the Big 10 could do is let it be known through backdoor channels that "If you applied, we would accept you." I know it's a semantic difference, but it's the way the process works.

muffler dragon Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 FWIW, HN, a very solid poster, at the Buckeye forums I frequent, has said an "impeccable" source stated that NU has received an invitation. Knappic is correct about the procedures; however, that tends to be a formality AFTER acceptance is understood. Edit: I should note that this doesn't mean that anything will come of it immediately. Timing could be days or a couple weeks. There's a LOT of stuff that has to get worked out. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The Big 12 is like a dying star, a white dwarf, headed for a black hole. That's physics. It's inevitable. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I thought Colorado did an end around on Baylor and was in their own talks with the PAC 10 last night? Quote Link to comment

If Texas is acting that way, if I was the Pac 10 commissioner I would put my foot down and say "Baylor is not apart of the deal, you either take the invites with Colorado, or not. I'm running the Pac 10, not Texas." Quote Link to comment

HuskerDu Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Press the BIG RED button already!!!!!!!! No kidding. So do you think we will finish in the top 2 or 3 of Big Ten conference play our first year? I think we will be atleast top 3. Can't wait to give Ohio St. a run for their money. Quote Link to comment

Can't wait to give Ohio St. a run for their money. Seeing as I'm a Buckeye by birth, but married into Husker Nation... I really look forward to some epic battles. I may just have to make the maiden voyage to accompany my Bucks at Memorial Stadium. The NU administration may have to consider expanding to accommodate the Buckeye Faithful. Quote Link to comment

Still cannot get over what a tool that dude is. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 "Once, twice, three times a lady conference destroyer" Maybe Texas could join MWC for a little bit before going to the Pac 10 to f#*k them up too. Quote Link to comment
