Nebraska Gives Verbal!

The Big Ten recruiting season has kicked off with a verbal commitment for Nebraska, according to the Omaha World Herald, which should not be confused with Weird Harold of Omaha.

The University of Nebraska football program is about to enter a new era following a vote by the NU Board of Regents Friday afternoon to align with the prestigious Big Ten Conference. Athletic competition is expected to begin in 2011.


Acting on the advice of coaching legend and current NU Athletic Director Tom Osborne and Chancellor Harvey Perlman, the regents voted 8-0 to apply for membership in the Big Ten.

It appears to be a formality that the Big Ten will accept Nebraska's membership quickly, leaving only one more Big 12 season.
