After all the back and forth rumors about Big10 expansion, it looks like one team is set to make it reality. Our very own Nebraska Cornhuskers could be named the newest member of the Big10 conference on Friday. Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne spoke on the radio Tuesday night and 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.”

Reading that makes it sounds like Nebraska is ready to commit to the Big10 and leave the Big12 to do their own thing.

So when Nebraska officially says yes to the Big10, look for the PAC10 to come in and swoop up the likes of Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Baylor/or Colorado. So where does this leave Kansas, K-State, and Iowa State? They are begging that Nebraska does not leave the conference but instead of begging they should be out there exploring other conferences. Some conference has to want Kansas and K-State you would think? Kansas is a basketball powerhouse who is getting forgotten in all of this conference expansion talk.

So Husker fans, let’s start getting accustomed to early 10 A.M. kickoffs against the likes of Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern etc. The one good thing about all of this is that every Husker game will be on TV due to the much talked about Big10 TV deal with ABC/ESPN. No more paying for ppv games after the 2010 season! This is an exciting time but also a time where we need to look back and think about the ole Big8 and Big12 conferences which made Nebraska what they are today.
