[NU Sports] 2009 schedule

[Peter C. Warner]

Early last spring, I saw an article that the Big Ten Commissioner's office
was considering going to a full 10-game conference schedule and would have
an announcement on the issue around June 1.  The announcement never came.
Presumably, $$ to the U of Mich, PSU, OSU, Wis, etc. for scheduling low-cost
patsies for extra home games and making season ticket holders buy the
tickets ruled the day.  Namely, forget what the fans want, just get the $$.
