[Husker] Pac-10 To Invite Six Big XII Teams

[Aaron Wolfson]

Hey, the sooner something happens, the better for Nebraska, IMO. We get the
ego boost, the certainty of an outcome, and more time to prepare for the
switch.

I haven't seen this scenario floated, but what if the Big 10 adds Nebraska
and stops? (Assuming ND rejects them, of course.) I think I like that idea a
lot better than a Big 10 that goes even farther east. But they probably
won't be able to resist adding the extra teams, especially with this Pac-10
talk.
