To Kansas and Kansas State...I am sorry...

So, I've been trying to follow all the college football action today and there has been a lot of shake up.

Colorado has been the first to leave the Big 12. (Hey at least they are first in something :))

I am not exactly sure what to say, or how to feel about it. But Nebraska is apparently going to be the 12 member of the Big 10 and there is not much I can do about it. If you are looking at the decision from purely a business stand point it is a no brainer. You go to the Big 10, sports are not the only beneficiary of this realignment, the university is a big winner too...Moving to the Big 10 is going to bring in a lot of research money for Nebraska AND going to improve the schools reputation as a great research school AND improve the academic ranking.

From an emotional stand point it will be difficult to leave the Big 12, because we will be leaving teams that we have played for 100+ years. But we are leaving the Big 12 -- not the Big 8, the Big 8 was lost in 1996-97...and from then on there was no going back to what we knew and loved. :(

So to Kansas and Kansas State, I am sorry.
