how funny would it be if the big 10 said no and was messing with them the whole time? i'd probably giggle

 

[HawkForce]

Unanimous vote yes

 

[goods10]

How long until the Big Ten board votes on their application to join?

 

[InGoodCo]

Most interesting thing of all that is they will be playing next year, not 2012

 

[goods10]

During the board meeting it was said they would start competing in the Big Ten next year (2011).

I think/hope they can get it done by 5 PM. Having to sweat out the weekend on making it truly official would be irritating.

That would be awesome. Hope they only get 7 votes.

They will it's 90 percent lost if only give one years notice compared to 50 for two years notice. They get like 8 million from the big 12 tv deal. So instead of losing 4 they will lose over 7, but your going to get 23 million from the big ten a year earlier, you do the math.

Pretty much a no brainer.
