    Ha! The Pac-10 now has 11 members. Your conference's name makes no sense! Go Big 10!

    You think its bad for your team? ISU is looking like it'll either end up in the Mountain West (Oh, those will be fun road trips), or the Big 10(uh.... no).

    I've spent the last day spamming a Nebraska friend's facebook page with allegations of turncoat.

    I'm not really sure I understand the reasoning behind this. Granted, the Big 12 doesn't really have much history (being a product of the Big 8/SWC collapse-merge), but geographically it makes sense and the conference has been fairly successful. It's possible this breakup is going to shake up a lot of conferences.

    Not that I've been following this closely, but the first news I heard (a day or two ago) had Nebraska defecting to the, ahem, Big 10. With that, rumours (at the time) has most of the rest of the Big 12 scattering elsewhere with some of the Big 12 teams being invited to the Pac 10, leaving three teams left holding the fort in what once was the Big 12. Now it appears that Colorado has made the first move. I may not have gotten all the number right - there are just too many of them floating around. Note to self: never name a conference after the number of teams in it.

    Does this mean that Nebraska will actually not leave the Big 12 when they leave the Big 12?

    Heh, if the Texas and Oklahoma colleges join, it's going to stretch the meaning of both Pacific and 10.

    Boise State has decided to join the MWC, essentially ending any rumors that the Pac-10 is going acquire BYU and Utah. link
