Unnamed sources strike again!

PrintWhat happens when journalists jump to conclusions like the Chicago Tribune's Teddy Greenstein?
This happens:
The Big Ten Conference is still in the early stages of weighing whether and where to expand and is "not anywhere near" the point of identifying and approaching prospective new schools, commissioner Jim Delany said Wednesday.
"We have not accelerated anything," Delany said, refuting a Chicago Tribune report late last week that the league had stepped up its timetable.
Today Teddy Greenstein reports that Delany will talk to reporters. He will inform them that the Big Ten "is certainly open" to expansion or something to that effect and the fans will continue to speculate because we're fans and that's what we do.
Still, it's clear the Big Ten is looking to expand. Who will they choose? Unnamed sources tell me the team will have "good academics", "quality sports", and "tv sets".
Clearly, then:

It should be “Moo”

Greenstein
I fucking hate him. I live in Chicago and subscribe to the Trib. I think his “reporting” generally involves reading the Athalon sports preview, and that’s pretty much it. He’s a tool. I subscribe to the podcast stream of several shows where he appears. I do not download his segments.
I generally am not a PSU homer, my other posts would support this. However, he picked against PSU nearly every B10 game in 2008, and hasn’t had them in his preseason Top 25 the past 2 years. Fucking hate him.

Can you imagine what a field day Jones would have had
Covering Alabama during their dark years? All the intrigue and power struggles. His articles would have cited a treasure trove of boosters, board members and good ole boys.

Two things:
(1) It’s not a “MOO” point. Nobody gives a shit what a cow says. It’s a “MOOT” point, like a moot court: the outcome doesn’t matter. Look it up. (Sorry Rambler, but you’re the 3rd person to use that phrase this week).
(2) Nebraska is a sure thing. I’ve been saying this for a while, but they’re the homerun that isn’t the douchey ND. Beyond that, I agree with IF’s jump poster.
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

But we're "too country"
Thus, it’s “Moo”.

Nebraska
I don’t think Nebraska is a homerun at all. Hell, I think Texas is the only really absolute total home run (everyone else has something keeping them from being the “total package”, even Notre Dame). More to the point, I suspect that Nebraska’s subpar academics can very easily keep them from getting an invite to the Big Ten.
No, this guy:

Not true, check out this AP report:

Source: Big Ten is Getting Fat?
An unnamed source indicates that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney was stuck in a bathtub. More details to follow.

I think that just blew his cover.
Without the sweater, and with about 1000 fewer wins.
