We recognize the intense speculation about conference realignment and the 
possible impact it may have on Nebraska.  Both Chancellor Harvey Perlman 
and Athletic Director Tom Osborne have indicated that the university would 
consider any opportunity that would advance the interests of the 
university. The University of Nebraska has not been offered any 
opportunity to move from the Big 12. We remain committed to the success of 
the Big 12 Conference. Until the Big 10 Conference makes and announces its 
decision on expansion, the University of Nebraska will have no further 
comment and we do not intend to continue to respond further to questions 
or speculations on this subject.
