College Football Conference Realignment: Nebraska to Big Ten, Win-Win Situation
I have to give you some background information on this article. During my junior year of college (in Nebraska), my roommate was a huge Nebraska Cornhusker fan (shocking, I know).

College Football Conference Realignment: What's the Latest?
I have only two words to amply describe what this whole cluster [insert expletive that begins with the letter "F"] on conference realignment in college football is doing to me physically: Linda Blair.
