Valkyrie, I love you, but I think you're being a little myopic about this one. Go to any of the major sports bars on a football Saturday and you'll find tons of O.U., Nebraska and other Big 12 fans watching their out of market games.

The Big 10 is certainly well represented, too, but the proximity to the Big 12 markets is what makes the difference -- especially on the TV schedules.

If you want to see more Big 10 games, you're probably going to have to go back to the Windy City -- or East.

I love you too, DA, and I know you're right. But I'm so mad when I can't see my beloved Hawks. I've heard that there's an Iowa bar in town -- I'll have to check it out sometime.

Despite the NCAA turning away from the Bush scandal at its beloved Southern Cal, Yahoo seems to continue digging. If this was an SEC school there would already be sanctions.
