[Husker] NE to Big Ten

[David Strong]

I just find it very, very hard to believe that Texas will ever be a member of the Big 10 conference.  I just think that they will not, cannot, abandon the other Texas schools and the Big 10 wants no part of them.  I just don't see it happening.  Could be wrong of course, there you go, but I haven't seen anything reliable concerning anything serious between Texas and the Big 10.
