And a well deserved one at that.

Chris Kuper made bank.

UConn, BC and Notre Dame have all been a part of the expansion rumors at one point or another. Looks like we've dodged that bullet for a few years, at least.

It's the last year of CWS at Rosenblatt. There's a really interesting documentary running on ESPNU about the CWS, history and atmosphere around the ballpark.

It's time to deal with it and move ahead. Tough situation, but it's time to put our time and effort into more productive endeavors. No referendum in the world is going to be enough to turn a 10-4 vote. I guess by your definition I'm rolling over, so be it. I'm a proud alumnus of the University of North Dakota and a nickname change will not impact that.

Well said, thanks to all for fighting the good fight.

So you're saying something positive could result from all of this!

Agreed. I'm sure that's where your time is focused?

Time to move forward.

Consider that stolen!

Imus was winning over Squawk Box by a slim margin shortly after he debuted, haven't read how that's held up. CNBC wins the rest of the day, not sure if it's still 10 to 1 but before Imus it certainly was.

And higher than CNBC.

He has the morning slot on Fox Business.

It sounds like they will do a full nine-game schedule like the Pac-10 does currently, no championship game.

Anyone remember Dean Dachyshyn brawling with a Badger in the penalty box? It prompted an extra panel to be put in the penalty box. "The Dachyshyn Partition" as Virg Foss put it.

Joe Schad at ESPN reporting quite the opposite: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5284375 I'm done here for today.

http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1094038 The latest from Chip Brown over on Orangebloods. Looks like Texas may be considering holding a 10-team Big 12 together while pursuing their own TV network. A ten-team Big 12 and a 12-team Big Ten?

You think people advising these kids as to NCAA versus the major juniors are paying attention? What a joke, college hockey will suffer some serious damage if this comes to pass.

I used to light my dad up for 20+ goals a game.

Been reading that the Big Ten might need to go after both Rutgers and Syracuse to turn the screws on Notre Dame and their Big East non-football membership. Then they'd need to add a 16th. Will be interesting to see how it plays out no matter what.

Chip Brown on Orangebloods reporting: http://twitter.com/ChipBrownOB/status/15948805885 ..along with TT, OU, OSU. Texas A&M still flirting with the SEC. An A&M-Texas divorce would a "War of the Roses" scenario that would make UND-NDSU look like Sesame Street. And no way the Big Ten stops at Nebraska. Sixteen for everybody, including the Mountain West when it's done.

This would spur a huge land-grab by the Big Ten, SEC, and some sort of an ACC-Big East coalition if it came down to the "Pac-16" getting two BCS bids.

If you had said a week ago that Lincoln, Nebraska would become the center of all this I'd have said you were nuts. This is remarkable.
