Chip Brown just declared that the "Big XII is dead"

Nebraska to Big 10
Colorado and Big South minus Baylor to Pac 10.


.........
A source close to the Nebraska Board of Regents told Orangebloods.com Wednesday Nebraska regents have informally agreed to leave for the Big Ten and will make a formal announcement on Friday. Several sources in the Big 12 South have said if Nebraska leaves, the Big 12 is dead. The league has until June 14 to decide if it's staying together. ... Texas and Texas A&M will meet Thursday. ... Possible schools to add to the Big 12 have been identified. ... Baylor may be facing resistance from the Pac-10. ... And a government warning. ... It's the latest bombshell in possible realignment from the source that broke the story - Orangebloods.com. [details]

Report just released says that CU failed its APR academic requirements for football and basketball and will lose scholarships. This could kill their move west.

And isn't it funny that all the bombshells are coming from SMU's very own Chip Brown?

I want him to drop a bombshell that we are moving up

or that Kate wants a date with you?

I picked a good week to spend time in Lincoln. I'll have a live update Friday from The Cornhusker Hotel (no kidding..that's the name of the place)

If we move up she will have to date me. I will be big time.

It is a free story on the website, BTW.

If Missouri is looking less attractive to the Big 10, I wonder if the 5 remaining teams try to add 3-4 more or try to find their way elsewhere. Probably the latter, but that may not be the best call. If they could somehow hold onto a 6th team, then I think they would have to try and stay together.

i could see a scenario where Tech gets left out. The dynamic changes if Nebraska to the Big 10 is the first move. In that case, Texas loses the first mover advantage and therefore the ability to necessarily dictate who joins it in the PAC East. I could see the Pac 10 wanting to limit the voting power of the Texas/eastern block and taking a Utah instead of Tech. And does anyone really think the Pac wants both OSU and Tech? Poor locations, below desirable academics. Don't see it. Will be interesting who has the leverage AND who uses it to help whom.

Tech being left out will make my day

Cal doesn't want Baylor because of its religious ties?
Wow. I guess it really is the post-Christian era.

Berkley is post Christian.

Can you imagine if SMU was seriously in the discussions? The Bush library would be a deal killer.

You are one week off and going to the wrong town. College World Series starts next weekend. Last one in the old stadium before it moves downtown.

Love CWS in Omaha, some of the best times I have ever had...
