[Husker] Big Ten Scheduling

[Scott Stewart]

That actually makes sense for Tech. They have the kind of academics that
the Big 10 likes. It is funny, Notre Dame may have made a really bad choice
in taking the ACC, though I doubt they will be left out in the cold.

I doubt Miami gets an invite. They are not an AAU member (though neither
are NU and Rutgers). They are really far out geographically. More
importantly, I think they are still awaiting their NCAA penalty for the
whole booster mess. They just did a second year of self imposed withdrawal
from a bowl consideration to hopefully lighten the penalty when it comes.

I doubt the Big 10 wants another team on probation. They already have OSU
and PSU this year and PSU for several years to come. Who knows, Urban Meyer
could easily get OSU in trouble again and the Big 10 could create a
conference of four with OSU, PSU, Miami, and a winner to be named later. LOL
