[NU Sports] Big Ten Expansion

[Mike Nolan]

> It's always annoying when the voices at sports talkers parrot these myths (Notre Dame has it's own network !  Making huge bucks !  Texas makes no sense !) and don't get called on it.  Also both men treated it as pretty much a sports question - Everything we have read indicates that Missouri and Texas officials consider it to be mostly an academic question.  Other than the Ivy League, all are admitting that the Big Ten represents the highest order of academics, and the other leagues aren't even close.

The first rule (some might say the ONLY rule) of talk radio is 'controversy sells'.

It sounds like they've succeeded here.
