Nebraska to the Big Ten? Let the Power Struggle Begin... 06/09/2010

The quest for college sports domination looks to begin this weekend...
Drew Thurman (8:24 pm)

Twitter and news feeds have been overloaded with news that Nebraska could very well be headed to Big Ten very soon. Expansion rumors have been a dime a dozen over the past few months, but this is more than a rumor. In fact, multiple sources are reporting that this deal could be done by the end of the weekend.

While I'm excited at the tradition and possible matchups that a team like Nebraska brings to the conference, we all know that it won't stop there. Actually, the mad scramble for conference superiority is just beginning. Rumors are already surfacing that Notre Dame, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Maryland are also jumping on board for a sixteen team conference.

That's just the Big Ten.

The Pac-10 is trying to keep pace by offering the rest of the current Big 12, and the SEC will refuse to be outdone. Nebraska joining this weekend could very well be the college sports version of the "shot heard round the world." Like it or not, college sports is on the verge of never being the same again. Many are predicting four superconferences will be all that is left when the dust settles. Personally I have a hard time accepting that. I think I agree with David Jones of The Patriot-News:

"Are four superconferences really better for the game, better for fans, better for the players? It's hard to see the advantages."

Let's get one thing straight though, this isn't about fans or what is better for the game!

".. this isn't about fans or what is better for the game"

Yes that is exactly what I'm suggesting! I should have photoshopped Jim Delany's face over Dr. Evil's!

My worry is that the Big Ten is going to screw this thing up with moving so slow. I hope this rumor is true...because the Big Ten will be the third conference behind the Pac 10 and SEC if all this happens the way it looks now...

buckeyenut - You have hit it dead on. The Big Ten may regret the slow pace they have taken. A month ago they held the cards in their hands, and now the Pac-10 appears to be.

Notre Dame is going to be forced to join at this point. Swarbrick said they didn't want to be left in the dust if the whole landscape changed. Well, THE WHOLE LANDSCAPE IS FREAKIN CHANGING!
