Four-Star Recruit
***Nebraska football officially made the move on ESPN from the Big 12 to the Big Ten last week. The Mouse's compilation of articles were very complimentary of the Huskers, and athletic director Tom Osborne said Big Ten officials have been in and out of North Stadium prepping NU for the transition.
“So for the last six, eight months, we've had a fairly steady flow of people from the Big Ten who have come out here: compliance, business office practices, academic consulting, Big Ten Network and on and on,” Osborne told ESPN. “So we feel very good about the outreach and the effort that the Big Ten has put in to assimilating us into the conference.”
The NU-Big Ten marriage will have a long, fruitful honeymoon. Nebraska will be eager to please and travel to all of the Big Ten sites. Minneapolis and Chicago better brace themselves for an onslaught of red every other year. The Twin Cities will become, for some, the new Kansas City – the place where folks go in the summer just because. Might take a decade, but the shift will be sure. There will be less and less reason to venture south for leisure if one of the key cultural connective tissues has been severed.
