The Not Quite So Big 12
Online reports have it that the University of Nebraska is about to join the Big 10. This action by a single school is going to set off a radical realignment of the Division I college sports conferences, and it appears as if my alma mater, Iowa State, is going to wind up on the outside of the new "power conferences" looking in. Best case scenario, ISU gets grouped with Kansas, Kansas State, some castoff Mountain West conference schools, and an aggregate of reform schools for wayward youths located in the Dakotas.Yahoo's Dan Wetzel provides a clear-eyed recap of the developments that have led to the coming shakeup. As it turns out, some conference commissioners were never as stupid as we thought they were for inflicting the disastrous Bowl Championship Series upon their football teams and the fans. They were scamming us instead.
And Nebraska can suck it.

World Cup Fever is back! Like a skin rash. With the thrills and excitement of soccer returning to the public stage every 48 months, is it any wonder that the sport has taken off in popularity in the United States like Rush Limbaugh from of a two-year-old marriage?
