It looks like the shit will be hitting the fan shortly for the NCAA and its major conferences. Nebraska is joining the Big Ten. They hate how Texas rules the Big 12, so no surprise there.

That means the Big 12 implodes immediately, with six teams running to the Pac-10. Those six: Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech (Guns up!). The Big East probably loses some schools or implodes themselves. As the Big 10 undoubtedly prowls for more schools.
