The New Math: The Day 10 Equals 12 - Or The Day Nebraska Finally Pushed the Big Ten to 12 Teams
Hard to believe it was a little over a year ago that this happened: The Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) announced unanimous approval today for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) to join the Big Ten Conference effective July 1, 2011, with competition to begin in all sports...

College Football High School Returns: Sitting Down At The Big Ten Table
(I'll have a Frozen Four piece up shortly, but I figured people could use a laugh on a Monday. Enjoy.) Language warning: Every now and then we use naughty words on this site. This is REALLY one of those times. If you have delicate sensibilities you should skip this piece of fiction in it's...
Maybe The Grinch Has A Heart After All: Delany To Reconsider Big Ten Division Names?
Never let it be said that Jim Delany doesn't listen to the little guy. Sure, usually that means smugly laughing while the Boise States of the world bitch and moan about unfair access to the Rose Bowl, but when the little guy (or in this case, every guy) is delivering verbal bombs excoriating...
It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Still Wants To Go To The Grotto
Honors, schmonors -- what about the grotto?! As we noted earlier in the week, the Iowa football team (and a handful of players in particular) continue to drown in pre-season accolades; Andy Hamilton has a run-down of more of them. But more importantly: Adrian Clayborn is mad. The one thing...
Dividing The Big Ten: Succeeding Where Geography Fails
Nebraska's a member of the Big Ten now, and Notre Dame can keep holding onto independence now that the pin's been put back in the Big XII grenade. Thus, it's somewhat safe to assume the Big Ten will stay as is for the foreseeable future at 12 teams. Now, clearly, it is absolutely not in the...
The Big 12 Is Now Undeniably Schrodinger's Cat
Is it alive? Is it dead? It all depends what you believe. Right, Dan Beebe? As usual with this process, madness reigns. Consider this your open thread for the latest developments in expansion madness.
Conference Realignmentageddon: SBN Links To Follow The Insanity
If you haven't noticed, I've been strangely quiet on the seismic shift in the intercollegiate landscape that is happening right before our eyes. This is primarily because football is the driving factor (and basketball and the non-revenue sports are barely getting a passing mention at this point)...
Football, Schmootball: What Does Adding Nebraska Mean To Other Sports?
While football is obviously (and justifiably) the engine driving EXPANSIONMANIA 2010, the end result of adding Nebraska to the Big Ten is that they're going to compete in all sports. So what does having Big Red in the fold mean to those sports? In short: good news for basketball, bad news for...
Revisiting Football Season Finale Options
Six weeks ago, before the college football world overdosed on crack and went completely and utterly insane and back when expansion talk was just a back-burner issue to pass the time in the long, ponderous off-season, we looked at the possibility of shaking up Iowa's end-of-the-year rivalry game. ...
