By Friday, Nebraska will announce that they are moving to the Big10. I’m sure this is just the beginning and by the end of it, Kansas could be standing alone in the Big12 or make a move to the Missouri Valley Conference ( I have to admiit, I laugh a little just thinking about it)
Here’s what Omaha.com had to say…
[QUOTE]On his monthly appearance on the Husker Sports Network, Osborne said:
“I think before too long — I don’t know exactly what that time frame is — we’ll be able to put this to bed,” then he jokingly added, “because I’m getting tired of it.”
The Big Ten first revealed on Dec. 15 that it was considering expansion, and that it would take 12 to 18 months to act.
Now, six months after that initial announcement, multiple sources have indicated that the Big Ten is prepared to add one to five schools (including Nebraska), and that the Pacific 10 is courting all six schools from the Big 12 South Division.
“There’s a lot of information we really don’t have right now,” Osborne said. “Hopefully we’ll get these put together in the next few days.
“Anything I would say regarding Nebraska’s position or other schools in the Big 12 would be pure speculation. And I don’t think that’s very helpful.”
Another issue Osborne addressed is recent speculation that he has a personal grudge against Texas or that he is basing decisions on some hatred of the Longhorns.
“We certainly don’t have anything against anybody in the Big 12,” Osborne said. “This decision is not going to be based on animosity or petty jealousy. You’re talking about something that could maintain for the next 75 to 100 years.[/QUOTE]Read [URL=”http://omaha.com/article/20100608/NEWS01/100609687#nu-to-big-10-as-early-as-friday”]Entire Article Here[/URL]
