[Husker] Chicago Tribune says Nebraska will join the Big Ten

[Scott Stewart]

Just a thought, but if NU is to go to the Big 10, and Texas then decides to
go to the Pac-10 with their buddies, leaving the Big-12 with nothing...

These games until the transition could be really interesting. Think about
the hard feelings at MU, KU and KSU games. The Big-12 officials now out of a
job, calling the games. Heck, they might put 10 minutes back on the clock
against us. :)
