Hiya, folks. The news today is EXPANSIONOCALYPSE IS UPON US. Well, perhaps not quite, but things are certainly heating up in lieu of Chip Brown's reports that Nebraska to the Big 10 is a done deal and that the death of the Big XII is imminent. I'm not going to restate everything I've read here today, and will instead direct you to some relevant sources.

Sources: All signs point to Nebraska to Big Ten - ESPN. A source close to the Nebraska program told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that athletic director Tom Osborne informed athletic staff members within the past 24 hours that the Cornhuskers were going to make the move to the Big Ten conference.

Another headliner today has been reported ticketing misconduct by Coastal Carolina University. Here are some relevant headlines. If you want to see more, I'd suggest going to some of the message boards, where things are beginning to heat up for the renewal of this "rivalry."
