[NU Sports] Big Ten schedules for 2013 and 2014

[Mike Nolan]

> On the flip side, OUCH on getting Wisky and OSU in a trade for Indiana and PSU (who may both be in transition depending on JoePa's staying there). Though we do have a pretty good rivalry with the cheeseheads going, so that will be good to renew. Still ... UW, Iowa, UNL, OSU, Michigan, MSU, Minny and the Ill-ini ... that's about as tough a league schedule as you'll find anywhere - including the SEC. Throw in a tougher NC schedule and it'll be sink or swim time in the deep end.

Personally, I'd like to see JoePa hang in through at least the 2012 
season so that he gets one more trip to Lincoln NE.  

But Penn State President Graham Spanier, formerly the Chancellor of
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, seems to want to force Paterno out
and might see a 2012 trip to Lincoln with Joe as head coach as another 
threat to his power base.
