[NU Sports] Next year, when we play UNL

[Michael Vance]

What is it with the Big XII (former, in some cases) schools anyway?  
It's not "Nebraska University," "Colorado University," or "Kansas 
University."  It's "University of Nebraska," "University of Colorado," 
and "University of Kansas."  So why is it NU, CU, and KU?  In Indiana's 
case, it really is "Indiana University," differentiating them from the 
two potential "U of I"s.
