Nebraska Coming to the Big Ten

A decision as to whether Nebraska is coming to the Big Ten will likely come Friday according to reports.

The university's Board of Regents on Wednesday evening amended the agenda for its previously scheduled Friday meeting to include a briefing from chancellor Harvey Perlman and athletic director Tom Osborne on conference alignment. The regents then could vote to leave the Big 12.

A decision is yet to be finalized according to officials.

"The conjecture and all the intensity surrounding it is not positive," Regent Jim McClurg said of the impending decision. "Everybody needs to know and has a right to know. The calamity and opportunity that's conjured up by not knowing sometimes exceeds reality, so I think it's important to get a decision done."

The Big 12 reportedly has given Nebraska and Missouri a Friday deadline to affirm their commitment to the league.

Nebraska was listed with 12/1 odds of winning the 2011 BCS Championship at Sportsbetting.com (see website here)
