Major Conference Realignment in College Sports About to Happen?

Word is out that there could be a major change in the conference alignment by the weekend.

Nebraska apparently is headed to the Big Ten and the Pac-10 is poised to become the Pac 16

According to ESPN, Colorado already has received an invitation to join the conference, while five other invitations will be extended to Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

A Big 12 football coach, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach on Wednesday night that if Nebraska left the Big 12 the conference would dissolve, according to his athletics director and university president. The coach said Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado would join the Pac-10, leaving Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State behind.

There could be a major domino effect for just about every other major conference including the potential demise of the Big 12. It will be particularly interesting to see what will happen to the SEC and the ACC but let me just say right now that regardless of whatever happens, my father would never forgive me if I forgot to mention that Dook still sucks!
