[Husker] NE to Big Ten

[Scott Stewart]

I don't disagree with that. I think it is what the Big 10 wants, but I think
Texas will not go to a league with revenue sharing unless it is the last
possible option.

What will be interesting is to see what strings are attached to a Pac-10
membership (the northern Pac-10 members have been pushing for revenue
sharing). Is there a scenario where they can build a viable "Big 12" again?
I guess TCU is a potential addition, but I don't think there is a
replacement available for NU (I may be biased).
