The Big Ten unanimously approved the application of the University of Nebraska to become the conference's 12th member on Friday after the Nebraska Board of Regents approved a resolution pursuing membership. "We believe Nebraska is an extraordinary fit, reflecting the criteria we established at the beginning of the process – high academic quality, competitiveness, cultural compatibility and fiscal responsibility," Michigan State president Lou Anna K. Simon said in a statement. Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman told the school's regents "this will bring Nebraska the stability that the Big 12 cannot." 11+1=12, thats why Im calling it the Big XII, and the Big Ten finally has Ten teams.
