<p>The Big ten adding Nebraska is a tragedy. Now thE Big Ten only represents football, no other sport or anything academically. Speaking of ND and other schools it comes to no surprise they have a resistance of interest in the big ten, a conference who has added the University of Nebraska. The conference is ruin.</p>
<p>“The conference is ruin.”</p>
<p>The Big 10 is doing a whole lot better than your grammar.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Usually, when I don’t have anything nice to say, I keep my mouth shut, and it is really easy on the internet. </p>
<p>But you’re a delusional drama queen and because of it, you’re making the rest of the conference look bad.</p>
<p>
You know, repetition doesn’t make your comments any more accurate. You could try addressing some of the information in post #357.</p>
<p>
Yeah I knew all of this information already. You have to look at the big picture; adding Nebraska was a tragedy.</p>
<p>Let’s do the comparison in terms of athletic relevance:
Football (Final BCS Standings, 2009):
tOSU
Iowa
PSU
**NEBRASKA**
Wisconsin
[everyone else]
Men's BBall (RPI through 2010 Final):
Purdue
MSU
tOSU
Wisconsin
UMN
Illinois
Northwestern
Michigan
**NEBRASKA**
PSU
Iowa
Indiana
Women's BBall (through 2010 Final):
**NEBRASKA**
[everyone else]
Baseball (through 5/30): <-- Just for hawkette...
**NEBRASKA**
[everyone else]
That covers the major conference sports and baseball. If you have any specific sport requests, speak up and I’ll run them.
Ah, of course. The “big picture” is roughly equivalent to whatever Coolbrezze happens to think today, right?</p>
<p>Cool, you should be more humble and welcome your fellow corn brethren.</p>
<p>“…welcome your fellow corn brethren.” </p>
<p>Exactly…there’s no room for elitism among children of the corn, no matter which side of the Missouri River you are on.</p>
<p>For overall athletic strength outside the big-revenue sports, let’s look at the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings as of 6/3:
2. tOSU
8. PSU
10. UMN
**14. NEBRASKA**
15. Wisconsin
21. Michigan
29. MSU
36. Illinois
40. Indiana
46. Northwestern
47. Purdue
Iowa

<p>Latest rumors out of Texas have the following:
Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State going to the Pac-10.
[Texas</a> Longhorns Football: Orangebloods.com - Texas Football](<a href=“http://texas.rivals.com/]Texas”>http://texas.rivals.com/)</p>
<p>Texas A&M and its fans look enamored with the SEC.</p>
<p>Pac-10 could likely add Utah or Kansas as a 6th team with A&M uninterested.</p>
<p>If this happens, look for Big Ten, SEC and ACC to grow to 16 teams each.</p>
<p>There is no way the Big Ten would ever allow schools like TT in it. Of course, I never thought UNL would be invited either. :-)</p>
<p>Looks like the B10 will be looking east. This is a very good result for the P10.</p>
<p>He said TT to the PAC 10, not Big 10.</p>
<p>I like when a state’s 2 big teams are in two different conferences, as is the case with GA/GATech and Clemson/S Carolina…it gives the football fans and media in the state a chance to see more out-of-state teams up close. So I think the football fans in Texas would benefit from having A&M in the SEC and Texas in the Pac10, rather than seeing the usual suspects over and over again.</p>
<p>Any chance of Rutgers leaving Big East and joining Big 10?</p>
<p>“He said TT to the PAC 10, not Big 10.”</p>
<p>I understood that. If Texas insisted that TT also be included in the deal to join the B10, there is no way there would ever be an offer. The P10 already has it’s share of schools at that level, the B10 does not.</p>
<p>
KU and KSU share the same board of regents. No chance KU goes anywhere without KSU.</p>
<p>^ They’re both good basketball schools… hopefully they’ll find a place.</p>
<p>"Any chance of Rutgers leaving Big East and joining Big 10? "</p>
<p>A BIG chance…once the Texas option falls through, the Big 10 will need to focus on getting Notre Dame; and the best way to do that is to emasculate the Big East by picking off some of its better 2-sport schools like Rutgers, Pitt, UConn, and/or Syracuse. Then ND will be without a good option for all non-football sports, and will finally go to the Big 10.</p>
<p>Anybody know if any conference is interested in Louisville?</p>

<p>I can’t believe I just read the above statement. I also can’t believe that one of our current Big Ten universities could ever admit anyone who writes this poorly.</p>
<p>
Good to know. It’ll most likely be Utah for a travel partner with Colorado. Personally, I think Big Ten should add Kansas, KSU, Mizzou and Notre Dame. Stay true to midwest. Just my feeling.</p>
