Big Ten Timeline to Be Accelerated

[TecmoSuperHawk]

From Teddy Greenstein's Twitter:

Jim Delany: "The timeline could be affected." In other words, it will be affected.

Not surprising to most for sure. The Nebraska/Missouri ultimatum clearly having an impact. I'm sure Larry Scott has really ticked off Delany here.

Also Scott has been given permission to advance on expansion without having to go back to the board of directors for approval. This will be figured out before we know it.

Yeah Delaney can't be happy, just got a tweet saying that another AD told orangebloods.com that the Big Ten want work things out with ND before addressing Nebraska.

Saw that too. I think ND is going to have little choice here. 5-10 years from now, other schools will be getting double or triple the revenue they will make. If they don't join in, it could cripple their non-revenue programs and even football will be more of a challenge to compete.

Yeah I agree. I get they wanna be independent and hold their own and bleh bleh bleh. But its gonna happen and they will have to sign somewhere else they will be left out to dry. So why not join the conference. Geesh
