Some interesting rumors going around.
1. Delaney is working with Tagliabue to force ND into a commitment. Rumor is Delaney has said if he gets ND he won’t take any Big East team, supposedly Tagliabue told ND either join as a full member or you are out. Supposedly ND only wanted to go to the Big-10 if they were the only addition so Nebraska could be significant.

2. The Big-10 offered Texas offered only 7 conference games to keep traditional rivals and is prepared to offer A&M as well. Also the 7 conference games was offered to ND as well.

3. Missouri was offered will be invited contingent upon UT accepting. Either ND or Rutgers will fill the final spot in this scenario.
