ESPN NEWS - Rumors of KU going to the Big East have started. Likely to create a Basketball powerhouse conference.

I have been reading lots of rumors about Kansas being invited to the Big East, but I'd take it with a major grain of salt

Reports: Nebraska to Join Big Ten

By Jeff Seemann
Fox Sports Ohio
June 9, 2010
After a weekend of denials and hushed discussions, the Big Ten will expand to 12 teams as early as Friday. Reports are emerging that the Nebraska Cornhuskers will become the 12th team in the league.

A source close to the situation has told Fox Sports Ohio that The Big Ten has offered an invitation to Nebraska. to become the 12th member of the elite conference.

Over the weekend, the Big 12 Conference demanded a loyalty pledge from all of its' members, and only 9 teams complied. Two of the three holdouts, Nebraska and Missouri, were given until this Friday to decide if they wanted to stay in the league, and the ultimatum has apparently pushed the Huskers into the Big 10.

“I think before too long — I don't know exactly what that time frame is — we'll be able to put this to bed,'' said Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne, “because I'm getting tired of it.''

That looks like the same info that has already came out and that writer is reporting it as the truth instead of a rumor as the other articles do.

Wow, major rumblings everywhere.

Yeah, I noticed it had a link to a OWH story that (I think) was already posted here. Who knows.

Sorry, the burritos I had for lunch aren't agreeing with me.

So, let's assume that both MU/NU go to the Big 10 & the South schools bolt for the Pac 10.....when exactly does this all take place? This year....next year.....5 years....2 weeks ago?

I would honestly love to go to the Big East, but that rumor is about as credible as a crackhead applying for a loan to start a new business.

it makes a little bit of sense though

If the Big 12 dissolves then the Big 10 will have swiped schools from the Big East as well as the Big 12. The Big East will need to replace schools and it is a basketball heavy conference.

If the Big 12 doesn't dissolve then the Big East will have only lost 1 school because Notre Dame will have taken the place MU/Neb and KU won't need to move.

so right now it looks like KU will stay in the Big 12 or move to the Big East.

unless of course the big east doesn't want KSU :grr:

Most likely 2012.

all of it is speculative crap but this much smoke usually means a fire of some kind.

If the Big 12 does fall apart, the Big East would be my first choice as a destination for KU

I hope you meant Big 10 when you said Big East. I can't imagine a scenario where a team plays more than one season as a lame duck.

Lawrence is actually closer to Syracuse than Tampa (USF) is.
