Kirk Bohls of the Austin American-Statesman has tweeted that A&M Athletic Director $Bill Byrne has told his staff and coaches that the reports of the Aggies joining the Pac-10 are true.

"Frank the Tank", a Big Ten blogger who's been out in front of Big Ten expansion, throws out this little nugget. (Grenade?)
I’ve received indications that Nebraska could be invited to the Big Ten
quickly (possibly in the next week), where the conference would grant
the school a fully vested revenue share (including a full stake in the
Big Ten Network) in order to cover the higher Big XII exit fees for a
1-year notice period for leaving. This would allow the Huskers to
begin Big Ten play for the 2011 football season. It could also set
into motion something similar to what I had theoretically posed in the “Multi-Phase Big Ten Expansion: How to Build a Super Death Star Conference” post, where the Big Ten inviting Nebraska puts pressure on Texas to
join. Now, that could ultimately just give Texas and other Big XII
schools the political cover necessary to bolt to the Pac-10 en masse as
rumored, but let me be clear on this one: THERE IS NO SCHOOL MORE LIKELY TO END UP IN THE BIG TEN THAN NEBRASKA.

2011? Now THAT would be chaos!
